SAINT CLOYSHUS FROM A LILY PAD

A simple committee meeting

SAINT CLOYSHUS FROM A LILY PAD

 

Saint Cloyshus:  You have gathered here because

we have problems in our environment.

 

Mick:  You mean the world is warming ?

 

Milly: No, the information overload, silly.

 

Patrick:  The genome theory is irrelevant.

 

Saint Cloyshus:  I have called you here to explain

the problem and to decide what we must do.

 

Mick:  I have an itch.

 

Milly:  Well, scratch it, silly.

 

Patrick:  Are we going to protest ?

 

Saint Cloyshus:  We have lost our ability to love.

 

Patrick:  It`s the dang anti-gun activists, right ?

 

Milly:  Well scratch it , silly.

 

Patrick:  We will abandon Writers Cafe and start

over.

Milly, Mick and Saint Cloyshus:  Scratch it, silly.

 

Saint Cloyshus:  No, love is dead.

 

Milly: ---bleep----

 

Mick: What can be done ?

 

Saint Cloyshus:  You must go back to God.

 

Milly:  What`s God?

 

Patrick:  God is love.

 

Mick:  I beg to differ.

 

Milly:  I know, it`s the information over-load !

 

Saint Cloyshus:  We will all meet here at the same

time next month.  Be sure to bring reports from all

your committee`s at which time we will formulate

a workable report process to finalize this final

report epitomizing the finality of love.

 

Milly:  Yes !  We will all decide.

Big Smiles...just where is this pond?? I am wondering if this is a challenge to all writers out there to write about love or if this is going to be a monthly chapter poem book that we will all look forward to reading...either way. Great job and very unique presentation.

Well, this is interesting :P I've never read something like this before, and to be quite frank, its... Well, I'm at a loss for words haha! I think I agree with what Tigra said that somehow this will be a start of something like a monthly or chapter poem. All I know/feel is that you'll be adding some more of this later on, and when you do, I'll be right here reading them :P Great job by the way, its very unique and interesting!

Very interesting way to write this piece, I have to say I've never read anything like it. That is meant in a good way, most definetely. I know the meaning behind this piece as well as the entertainment it is supposed to bring while reading it up front. Nice work.

lol my brain is still attempting to wrap itself around this one..

it feels very dryly tongue in cheek (something you are very good at) and your comment was a needed enlightenment (maybe it should be an author's note? or even put as part of the poem at the end in brackets.)

i can see this as a sort of barelbones stage production..

Loved this! Made me think of Government or big corporation meetings where nothing ever useful comes of them. But the mention of Writerscafe, hmmm? Anyway, this was simply delightful!
