Who Is Bri? ... Written At 6 Am In A Diner In Honor Of Ph Poet And Fearsome Wit, “bri” Edwards

Rating: 5.0


Who is BRI...
That all the Brains commend him?
(Sorry Shakespeare... Willy!)

NO ONE is named “BRI”...
A problem that troubles me;
His true name’s a mystery!
Known only, I guess to He,
(I know, I know, it should be
an object pronoun grammatically!)
And his mommy and daddy, maybe!

Sir, what will you breakfast on today? ”
Well, I'll have two bri-
oches with a wedge of Bri-
e, and then a bri-
sket of beef
Along with some coffee,
No, make it tea,
And toss in a shot of Bri-
stol Cream Sherry.
To keep things merry
As I ponder this quandary.
Do you think he’s told his wifey?

As his religion’s a bit shaky
I sniff a whiff of bri-
mstone in his vicinity.
Not of the Tribe, he’s had no bri-
ss; so maybe he’s at the bri-
nk of the great, deep, abyss
Because of the contents of his bri-
efs; but I guess he’ll cross that bri-
dge when he comes to it! We’ll see!

He isn’t Bri-
ttle; Nor is he Bri-
tish. He is certainly Bri-
lliant and quite a Bri-
ght light!

But could “He” perhaps be a “She, ”
The other Edwards, Bri-
tney? Well no, not a possibility;
We’ll just have to wait and see
To uncover his identity
To discover who might be
THE REAL BRI! ! !

Ha! Love this witty and humorous write! Who said Bri's the only witty one on this site! Such an imaginative poem this is and a great pleasure to read! Laughed my way through most of it! And if it's any consolation, I always wondered myself if it was pronounced as Bree or Br-i ! Well, now we know!

as few may take an interest (or they are afraid to admit it) in bri edward's true identity, i will leave a comment so the author of this witty poem can sleep tonight. as coincidence would have it, i ate both ice cream (two small mcdonalds cones) and lots of salty pizza today. this is probably the first time in years i have had both on the same day, and pizza is a rarity in itself in my diet. that's why i still CAN fit into my britches! i enjoyed the rhyming, but i'm almost afraid to mention that i pronounce bri so as to rhyme with eye, not sea. i guess it would be impossible to know that on PH unless i confessed it. i confess it. bri :) thanks for sharing, Eugene. now if THAT isn't a fake name, i'll eat my hat!

First I was mistaken about your identity! Now you have just created doubt about Bri's identity! But we all can agree with out any doubt about his great wits and humor. Brilliant poem. So far I had read you only on Bri's showcase. Loved your poem about painting the bird in a cage. Thanks for sharing.

i forgot, after leaving a comment on your The Bonnie Brides of Bri, to tell you i also enjoyed the female photos in the video area above your poem about me. are they available? did YOU put them there? don't think so; i think they are advertising on PH. bri :)
