Ilong-Ilong

A humorous poem my English teacher had us make for a brochure about the city I live in.

There was once a place called Ilong-Ilong,
I know, it does sound like a song.
Ilong-Ilong stopped existing a long time ago,
I'm pretty and sure you didn't know.

There were schools there, like Ateneo de Ilong-Ilong,
Yes, I think it does sound a little wrong.
Ilong in this dialect means nose,
but unlike our nose, in another name the place grows.

They names the place Ilong-Ilong, I bet you don't know why,
but that's alright, neither do I.
What I do know is why they changed it!
Why would anyone live in a place called Nose-Nose?

Author's Note

I don't always put effort into my group projects, but when I do, it means I've done all of the work.

Like, this poem was just a part of the brochure my teacher had us make. All of the parts included in the poem were entirely made by yours truly. XD

Why live in a place called Nose-Nose - god only nose/knows. The place sounds much nicer in the indigenous.
This is a witty write - its charming and well written.

BTW - the nose doesnt stop growing ...trooo!

Haha thanks! Nothing like a month's worth of procrastination and a 24-hour deadline to get you inspired. XD

Procrastination ? I wouldn't know the meaning of the thing - surrounded as I am by last years wallpaper which might - I said might - be put up this Xmas - or not - lol
