A Stairs To Tenth - (Satire) Poem by Maria Barbara Korynt

A Stairs To Tenth - (Satire)

Rating: 5.0


I am going I am going
I am going I am going...
one step, two, three.... nine....
ground floor, first, second, third,
heavily a bit,
probably you know
the fourth floor,
fifth behind it
already half,

it is an examination for me,
from my efficiency
not not, I am not afraid,
I am standing on the mezzanine
for myself
I am standing
and I am resisting the railing,
let somebody guarantee
here for me

that I only
so up the stairs
more and more high,
more and more far
I am climbing up to tenth
as it well that already fifth
it is a half - what a success!
legs for me are taking
root in... bum

but farther I am burning
to the expedition up
to this top,
because at the top
I am feeling
as the conqueror, the medallist
and at least a list
here aren't hanging
that it is pulling me this way to... Krystie

is hanging me on the shoulder
big bag on the thong because
I am remedying defects for her
I with myself already have a pair
of pliers
is sixth!
I smell at least
a cabbage
somewhere through some slits

I am pedalling
into the distance
to seventh still eight and ninth
but relief, is tenth!
I am ringing,
firmly breathing
as the grey hare
chased away
or rabbit, as you like,

this way I am feeling...
soon slowly,
the door lightly is opening,
and it is stopping in it...
what there is standing up?
for whom, for what,
for what, for whom,
I am looking, and here...
the husband is at home!

Julias' wounds!
but the rooow!
like for me from
the fist shot in of snout
I covered it oneself with legs
farther you probably know alone
I lumbered along
until the end
I tapped to the neighbour

and the one to me:
- do you want the
second helping?
no, no, not,
no, no, not
I am in a hurry,
I have to go! ! !
no longer
I walk to tenth

because bad
I have memories
but in turn
there on fifth
lovely Miss Renia lives
for her gas
is breaking
so I have
already once been...

In order to feel this satire, it is necessary well to understand this poem and... to read it in Polish. It is one, from your 'pearls'. Of course it is very good and in English, but 'taste' which is feeling in native language, it is a bit different, but it is understandable. This poem it is a way to have fun now. :))) DA
