Pomes (Poems) Inspired By Ern Goon

[Barnard]

“Fatty,” said Ern, “I’ve just seen a dead cat in the pond and I’ve written a pome about it. This is how it goes.” And Ern recited, ‘How sad to see thee, pore dead cat,
in the pond, under the water.
I don’t know why you jumped in there,
but I think you shouldn’t oughter.’

Brilliant Barnard!

I wonder if Ern could really go against the grain and attempt to finish it!!

[pete9012S]

[Barnard]

Excellent, Pete.

[pete9012S]

Thanks Barnard!
I thought you might shout at me!!

[Barnard]

I’m happy for you to add extra verses, Pete. Sometimes Ern can only think of one verse before imagination runs out like this pome that I posted a few months ago.

STAYING WITH UNCLE by ERN GOON

When I stay with Uncle, I always get in trouble.
He hits me and he tells me off, I am so mizzerubble.
But later in the evening when I am safe in bed
I dream of saying, “Uncle, kindly goanborlyered.”

Ern described this verse as his ‘masterpeece.”

[pete9012S]

I would agree!

STAYING WITH UNCLE by ERN GOON

Love it, Barnard!!

Some more verses to Ern’s pome, The Pore Dead Cat Have recently been discovered. I’ll post the original verse and then the new ones.

THE PORE DEAD CAT by ERN GOON

How sad to see thee, pore dead cat,
in the pond, under the water.
I don’t know why you jumped in there,
but I think you shouldn’t oughter.

I dragged the cat out of the pond,
and gave it a little cuddle.
Pond water dripped onto the ground,
and formed a little puddle.

My only thought at that sad time,
was, ‘what a pore wee thing,’
and then I listened very hard.
The cat had started breathing.

It opened up its eyes,
and gave my arm a norful scratch.
I dropped it and it ran away.
I ran and tried to catch

it but my arm was
giving me lots of pain,
and as I watched I saw the cat
jump in the pond again.

I thought, ‘do I care?’
‘No, it can stay there.’

Wonderful Barnard -
A completed poem by Ern Goon is a very precious and rare pome indeed!

[Barnard]

Thank you, Pete. It took Ern quite a few hours to complete the pome.

Brilliant Barnard! We will soon have to publish an anthology of Ern's sublime pomes

[Barnard]

Thank you so much, Boodi.
I love writing pomes in Ern’s name.

[Boodi 2]

Barnard, Ern would be so impressed that he would consider you a genius on a par with Fatty!!!

[Barnard]

That is praise indeed, Boodi.
I just have so much fun making them up.
