An Ode

by Yopu is Crying

Ode- a lyric poem in the form of an address to a particular subject, often elevated in style or manner and written in varied or irregular meter. Definitely not meant to be taken seriously. Enjoy.

This was a poem style I had to work on recently in Creative Writing and also just for shits and giggles. The teacher will never know I handed in fanfiction for my assignment :3

Ode to the Street Sign

Here's an ode to the street sign,

Which ruled this domain of traffic from that

Kingly corner over there.

Though it bore no crown, red and white paint

Shone brighter than gold,

And the characters upon its surface held more command

Than a leader of all the land.

But to the strongest man it was made a victim,

Torn from its concrete soil,

Swung like a bat and tossed like a grimy old mat,

Right on that poor chump's head.

Oh law appraising monarch from on high,

As they say in Japan,

Sayonara, o wakare.
