Just So Odd....

Do you know what's weird?
we all reside in the Netherlands
that is why we are placed here,
think about the department
especially for poets from the Netherlands
we are called Dutch poets
we get that predicate for free
never had to work for that level
do we deserve that?
PoemHunter must know of course
that we are in some other magazines too
we have already penned our thought
in those intellectual magazines and journals
after days and nights we have worked ourselves badly
insomniac and overtired
ah, leave it all
do you know what I think is weird?
here in this department, all poets from the Netherlands
especially greeted with: "Welcome to PoemHunter from Netherlands"
very friendly, I think so
the supreme boss is a sweetheart, may be
but here I see other than Dutch family names
few people who master the Dutch language
Well, that may well be so
perhaps
but yes, what is that "Welcome" about?
I think because they live in the Netherlands, just like that
their ©Sylvia Franpassports or identity cards: ever shown
neither looked at it, just like that
do you know that all of these, despite my statements here,
are still so weird, just like that.
yes, I am not to be stunned
we wanted to converse anyway?
Ah, if you can interest yourself for nothing
and this just leaves you cold,
I'm really disappointed, you've become so old!
