I don't know which one to pick as my favorite. Toilet is soso funny. Haiku is great. Wish I knew someone to share it with. The Moose sign is outrageous. I can see it would make sense but is it real. I'll have to google it. Great collection.
Thanks for the much-needed laughs this morning. That 'Hike who?' is definitely going into my permanent collection of dad jokes! I also loved the line about poetry in translation being like taking a shower in a raincoat—that is such a perfect, frustrating image. It’s a great way to celebrate National Poetry Month without it getting too stuffy. Hope you have a great day of 'enlightened' reading!
Not being Canadian I don’t get the moose one Or hike Might need to ask doctor (Google) Or it just might be a tad early for my brain to start firing lol
Dear Debra, I am not a huge fan of poetry...BUT I love Leonard Cohen! Not sure if you have seen any documentaries on him, but there is one in particular I think you will really like (if you haven't seen it). Although I do appreciate some poetry, I just can't say that I like enough to consider myself a fan. Thank you so much for this post and the smiles!
@ Linda's Relaxing Lair -- Yes, I adore Leonard Cohen's poetry and music and have been a huge fan since I was a teenager in the 1970s. And I know he is Montreal's Favourite Son! Thanks for referencing that documentary -- it is a wonderful one!
Debra, he sure is. He is well loved here. There is a lovely mural downtown with his portrait. It is beautiful. I am so glad you liked the documentary, dear friend.
...Need Something To Celebrate? Celebrate each day that you can get out of bed!!!
ReplyDeleteSo many groaners that had me chuckling.
ReplyDelete"Hike who?"

Brilliant. Love the Rumi/cat one!

ReplyDeleteWhen I wake up,I don’t know if I will be alive till the night,isn’t that reason enough to celebrate each day 🤗🙏
I love the Calvin and Hobbes one. And what a stupid question to Leonard Cohen.

Remember all those poems we had to memorize in school?
ReplyDelete@ Jackie McGuinness -- I STILL remember some of them!

Yes, poetry in translation: how does that work?
ReplyDeleteOh GROAN! 😂😂😂
ReplyDeleteGreat words... I know Leonard Cohen as a good singer with meaning full words.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing, and happy weekend Debra 😘🎉
I didn't notice about T.S. Eliot's name. You get to learn something new every day.
ReplyDeleteHave a lovely day.
I didn't notice Eliot, either. Mixing memory and desire on a warm day.
