For a second, not a moment more,
(Oh, had I wished for a moment more,
Just one!)
I’ve reached predictable doubts—
Lest, I should remember,
Upon something so enriched by the fosse
Of collective old hope that thatched its own death,
Oh, the onset of some funeral but of this, it was for my hope,
As it expired; Send the remembrance of not glory,
But of that visiting pride, wrought with bracts
Hemming themselves to the dead sod below my feet;
Those crooning graves, I’ve once said, now brought remembrance
That hope and pride lie here with sweet surrender;
I was too proud in the steep of bets,
And I have fairly lost to the one and only “ant”,
But, wait! One second, before I concede! I must admit—
Something I once again done,
And never shall I bet again,
Never shall I again,
As I’ve stumped all my guesses,
With something to never be undone, but not a wasted minute more,
Unlike the breached oaths in between of Dolos,
I admit to my mistake of being too smug…
Mark is great. Mark is just awesome;
He is a greater winner than I could ever be,
And to account for his greatness that I am being forced to see,
Mark is simply awesome. awesome. awesome. This, I mean!
He’s great… And has ton’s of greatness, too…
(Ta. Ta. Ta. Ta.)
And not a moment more,
He’s the great winner of this bet,
And I am the loser, sore.
But, let’s not EVER forget,
That Mark is simply great,
The best.
And to account for that,
This is my very final bet.

Mark's Addition: Wait...mythology???

Mark's Addition: Wait...mythology???
Lol. Yep, mythology.
ReplyDeleteIt’s specifically where I bring up Dolos who’s the Greek God of deception. It was a way for me to branch in the “Mark is great...” lines by me finally admitting your greatness. And by that, I contrasted myself to Dolos in that way. It’s one of those weird lines, tbh, but that’s normal for my poems. Lol.
xD Tbh, it probably is mythology. "Mark Is Lucky" would be a more realistic poem, as this is the only time I've ever won a bet that I can recall lol
DeleteI was expecting you to win, but my views went from 10k monthly to 7k monthly. A huge drop-off :/
Lol. That’s pretty funny, tbh.
DeleteReally? After a couple weeks, I was certain you were going to win. And you did.
But 48,000 was a crazy number for me to bet on, and realistically, it probably will happen in late April or May. I’m not betting on this one, though. Lol. It’s all probability.
After a couple weeks was when the sudden drop occurred; I was certain you'd win until then
DeleteEh, I think June
I love how you opened up the poem. It's almost like you were saying, "*sigh* I was forced to do this. I lost. Please forgive me." XD
ReplyDeleteMy favorite line is "And to account for his greatness that I am being forced to see". I pretty much collapsed with laughter at this point.
tbh, I'm mindblown by the fact that you actually wrote this. I would've died on the inside if i ever had to write this.
When you said "ta, ta, ta" for some reason the poem turned into a musical (with the tune of "Be Our Guest"
This is a great poem about greatness. :)
I like your new profile picture, Mark. Seems familiar. ;)
xD She does seem to have opened that way
DeleteMy profile picture looks familiar? :O Where have you seen it? Lol
That may or may not have been my thought process when writing this. ;)
DeleteI’m glad you thought that line was funny. :)
Lol. I understand that. I did die on the inside after writing this (mainly from embarrassment). But a bet is a bet. And this was the result.
XD I listened to that, and it fits that part too well. Maybe I should make this poem into a full blown musical... Hmm... lol.
Anyway, thank you so much. I’m glad you liked this. :)
Mark Is Great: The Musical. Coming to DVD September 2099 xD
DeleteLol. It will be produced by Disney, and will be a critical success thus forcing the unwritten sequel, “Mark Is Still Great: Musical 2” that under fan speculation is to be released in the year, 2209 (to the author, Lucy J’s great dismay, since she will have to write a sequel way before that...)
Deletelol.
ReplyDeleteWell, even if because of Mark you are now only a hollow shell of who you used to be, I enjoyed it.
*hums* Mark is great
I'm not certain where I saw it... XD
2099? I've already completed filming! I've been secretly recording you for the past 6 months. It should come out next year. }:)
oops. Forgot the reply button.
DeleteOh, Lucy, I need to film one more scene. Can you and Mark participate in a kick line?
DeleteXD Lol. Nope. Well, Mark can. He’s the star of the musical after all. :D
Deleteawww. I need another extra. You are the only other person in on production, so I can trust you to keep the plot under wraps. XD
DeleteLol Nah, I can promise you, there's no musical she's filmed of me xD I don't sing lol
DeleteHow do you know? Have you ever bugged a house? And let's just say you need A LOT of autotune. (;
DeleteExcept I don't sing :D
DeleteA LOT! I made you talking into an entire song. Not easy. XD
DeleteYou're absolutely right, the greatest of the great :)
ReplyDeleteLol Any sarcasm directed at me is (likely) deserved xD
DeleteAt least you admit it
Delete-shrug-
DeleteI cracked up, as I read this. :) I wouldn't be able to pull this off.
ReplyDeleteBut, you know this musical may come out, the 2090's may be Disney's second golden age with, "Mark is Great: The Musical," as the leading film and the start of a revolution in the film making industry. >D Also, a reflection of the current popular music of the era. It might be greater than, "The Lion King."
I’m glad it cracked you up. :) Well, I think you could pull this off. Overall, it was a silly thing to write, of course, after initial embarrassment. Lol.
DeleteLol. You know, it just might be. It can certainly make a statement. But, could it be better than “The Lion King”? Well, I don’t know—we’ll have to read the reviews when it’s released. XD
For fun, I might write a sequel poem to this (I’m serious), and I’ll put musical aspects in figurative language to make it like a musical. Not sure if I’ll do that for sure, but I’m cracking up at the possibility.
Your're right, Lucy. Could anything beat, "The Lion King"?
DeleteAnyway, I can't wait to read your sequel poem, if you decide to do it.
I love your new profile pic
ReplyDeleteThanks :D
DeleteAnd this poem cracks me up
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it. :)
DeleteLooking back towards Valentine's Day... TOGETHER?!?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, not one of them consta-ship people.
Lol This is one of the most popular poems on this blog
