O! They said so

O! They said so

Poem by: Freeyad Ibrahim

**

I said: walking is healthy.
They said: No!
I said: Nietzsche says so.
They said: Yes exactly, oh!

**
I said: an infertile woman is not a tattered doormat as some say.
They said: Yes, she is so!
I said: O! Don’t think so.
They said: the prophet says so.

**
I told a joke,
It fell flat.
No one laughed,
or opened a jaw.
I said: it is juhha’s joke ,
It is he who said so
Or Bernard Shaw
Everybody then laughed
No more ado

**

He wrote a wonderful fiction
With his name under
On the cover
One by one they come
And one by one they go
Humming
The writer we don’t know

**
The next day he saw
With admiration and awe
Thousands of readers
Onlookers with no measure
Bending over his humble book
As if they found a treasure
When he came closer
To get a better look
He came to know:
An unknown clown
had replaced his name
by a well-known name
Italiano Americano,
Whose name is:
Da Vinci Brown

**
O, small men with big brains
You are all what you dress
It is the cover and the color
That matter
No matter
What the man’s head contains!
