Today, I have a lot of things to complain about so, I will just get on with it
Tennyson or one such fool of a chap ( don't remember who )wrote:
"
The year's at the Spring,
the day's at the morn,
morning's at seven,
the hill side's dew-pearled-
and continues with some such rot...
"The lark's on the wing, the snail's on the thorn.
God's in His Heaven, all's right with the world."
I mean, who asked his opinion?!
A blight of a poet comes out and tells us it's spring, whether you like it or not, when every evidence proves that is it otherwise. It is winter now, but no, the rot of a poet is adamant that a year is something which other season other than spring ought not to be.
Then he alludes to this rather funny idea that it is morning at seven. I was not aware that anything before 10 in the a.m could be refered to as morning. But no, the poet had to break the the fact, and twist the knife by revealing that at a certain hour when content creature should be sleeping on one's bed, the mornings are all said and done with. Which ofcourse, is total rot. I have not encountered a single morning before 10 o'clock in the a.m. and the notion that such a thing exist before that hour is hightly preposterous. Trust me, I am telling you from personal experience.
And then there is the thing about the eccentric view on larks and snails. One might pass off, that a lark can be delusional and could somehow be on the wings, but no matter how delusional a snail maybe, it would surely not impale itself on a thorn, of all places in the wide known universe, especially not so in the morning ( morning, if the poet deludes himself the hour to be ) . One would think a snail has some common sense and be going about minding its own business without sad incidents with thorns and what not, but clearly this blight of a poet seems to think otherwise. Sacrilege, I say, of fellow brethens of the living.
But the last straw is his blithe abandonment of the ways of religion, God, and the general well being of the world. How did this chap concurred that God is in His Heaven, one would never know, but to conclude all of this by saying that all of the things summed up that all of the world is well, that is a bit below the waist.
Let us suppose ( one of those supposition techniques, one so often find oneself using to prove or disprove a hypothesis ), that all the things this chap is saying is true, that it is spring ( even thought the cold winds of winter is blowing ) and that 7 O'clock can be remotely referred to as morning ( god forbid such thing ), and by some delusion on the part of the Lark, he/she is on his/her wings, and the snail feels particularly suicidal and wanted to impale itself on a thorn in this ungodly hour, for reasons unfathomable even to himself. Let us say all of these is somehow the case. What I do not get is, how in the dickens does this make all the world well? A daffy old blighter of a poet he must have been. Still no harm done as long as one do not take him seriously.
All is well, bah! if he only knows what is going at my neighbours and what happenned at the marketplace yesterday. Some bloke who has no clue of the world.

dear johney,
..oh by the way. do you get mad when people use "lol".. nah. just askin'. i don't get necessarily made.. but it's just weird enough i guess.. n' sometimes i feel like killin' someone whenever i get this word.
oh that was so out of context... actually wanted to say.. i like eddies more than the calmness.. coz then it shows patterns... which appears sometimes to be random.. but actually not.
n' i also like when they complain n' blame.. don't you feel it's so so so necessary to hate as well apart from just lovin' alone.
in the memory of all the late risers...
after all
why do they say
it's late
when i feel it's soon
they say it's night
when i feel it's actually
just noon.
the ducks fly away
tellin' me it's winter
when i feel i've seen
my calendar n' it's june.
why do their clocks
run oh-so-fast?
why do they say
it's late
when i feel it's soon...
poetically yours,
d'yer mak'er
@dyermaker
Exceedingly annoying and vexes to paramount limits, I assure you. "lol", the very blight in an otherwise sound language. Thought the word does not make me go on a killing masquerade, but yes, it so tries a man's soul.
And oh! I do love to hate. It gives such a satisfaction, to what one would be dispose to call, the psychology of the individual.
And thank you for your beautiful poem on the supposedly late risers. Though I would never understand what do you mean by late.
I was never late for anything, when I rise up in the morning. But over all, when one could overlook such things, your piece is something one would covet in his entire (supposedly late) waking life.
P.S. Long time no hear/seen. What have you been up to. I cannot see your blogs anyhwhere. Your previous links gave me mumbo jumbo about some oriental recipes.
God, larks and snails, huh!
@Manish
Exceedingly dull stuffs, I know. But very good and handy objects for general banter.
@Sanjay
I say, a lot of fools running around free. No wonder, one can see the debauchment of the society.
the thoughts are almost mutual... although i feel it's never late to start somethin'... but sometimes it gets late for things to end. but that's just me... relentin' more on things which have got no meanings than the ones with.
@D'yer mak'er
Yes, it would seen nasty business has so sense of punctuality. Always late in its termination.
And oh! it is not only you I assure you, who feels like relenting more on things which have got no meanings than he ones with. mmost of the sapient species feels that way, infact,you will be very happy happy to learn that it is the most common thing in the world.
I fail to appreciate this exorbitant effort of the poet connoting worldly exuberance with snails, larks etc etc that too at 7 in the morning.
One serious request, please keep coming up with an entry every weak so that we improve our RC skills for CAT. Encompass mythology, psychology and all other suptid stuffs....
Economic Times and business magazines cater to the business jargons..... Hence we seek your assistance in a comprehensive RC preparation for CAT.
@Explicating
Undoubtedly the poet's singular goal was to misled the general public. But do stop referring to an ungodly hour of 7 as morning. I winced rather painfully everytime when one blunders in this misconception.
About this frightful thing call CAT, one remembers the trouble one had in his early life about the feline. If you want to crack CAT, then a thorough study of the feline is absolutely necessary. Evil. But necessary.
Oh, and about the general rot that I write about mythology, pschology, with what and what not; they are rather flippant in nature, but absolutely handy for general slander when you need one.
"God's in His Heaven, all's right with the world"
...wasnt tht sarcasm???
@desperado
There is a way of looking at things and there is a way of looking at things. But, if you look over the whole plot, you can see happy bubbly things about springs and mornings, larks and snails. And I do not think the chap would go suddenly sour and start sprouting sarcasm about God and the world.
Life is beautiful.
Breathe, even rot will start smelling ok. the nose has a beautiful capacity to adjust!
@Phoenix
Life is beautiful. All the rots and blights make it worth it too.
Good one dude!...its the "Poetic License" these people get to make the full use of!
@da
I do agree. This should be under 'Misuse of act #56, under the statute of poetic liberty and restriction' thingy.
Well, if Mr Bond has a license to kill, I suppose, whoever blighter it was who wrote this, he must have been covered by such kind of silly licenses.
Its amazing how much you love to hate that guy's poem. And the energy in you and the your smiles that are reflected while you were hating that poem made me feel that the spring has arrived. Its surprisingly soon for its not winter yet.
You loved to hate
With so much of fire.
You cared to explicate
All your desire
You smiled all the way
Late in the hay
You loved to hate
With so much of ire
@Nikhil
Absolutely. Rather. Ofcourse. Certainly. Positive. True.
I love to hate.
A bubble of happyness and contentness surrounds me whenever I hate something in a loving manner. The feeling is quite exquisite.
