Funny, as a good humour. Failed to get the underlying message, if there is any. However, congratulations to the poet on his poem's selection as the 'Modern Poem of the Day'!

Lovl. I am laughing very hard. Comedy in poetry. Innovation and change come from doing things differently. Hmmmm.......Backward Deluke reads the bible book like a koob elbib....his wife should be called mR Ekuled. Beautiful poem. (Who are you calling backward?) . Lol.

Shel got the point: Wisdom concealed through verses. Giggling about “real-life-nonsense” makes you wise in a quite funny way. Thank you dear Shel.
