AS I sat alone, by blue Ontario's shore,
As I mused of these mighty days, and of peace return'd, and the dead
that return no more,

How oft is buckled spur to heel,
How many a steed in short relay
Stands harnessed on the king's highway,

2nite at dinner, i was being rude...making fun of the food...
i was being sarcastic and nasty

Followed each other till a dreary moor
Was crossed, a bare ridge clomb, upon whose top

Just after my graduation in Kerala,

The Other Night I got the blues and tried to smile in vain.
I couldn’t chuck a chuckle at the foolery of Twain;
When Ward and Billings failed to bring a twinkle to my eye,
I turned my eyes to Hansard of the fifteenth of July

I sometimes sit beneath a tree
And read my own sweet songs;
Though naught they may to others be,
Each humble line prolongs

Way down in the Boom Belt lived Mrs. Roselle;
A person named Petrie, he lived there as well;
But Mr. Roselle he resided away

By that ancient pile I linger
Known familiarly as 'King's.'

Smile differs
With something to offer
To avert war
If so then smile like star

In my life I’ve never told a girl I love her so
And how I’d hold her so tight and never let her go
But in the past I met you and I made you an exception
Sometimes were rough but I figured we'd prevent the birth of war like contraception

Inamoratas, with an approbation,
Bestowed his title. Blessed his inclination.
He wakes, unwinds, elaborately: a cat
Tawny, reluctant, royal. He is fat

Why have you laid a road so long for me?
You are the one who never walks along with me
And hiding somewhere aren`t you observing me?

letting words with a sarcastic touch
get to me somehow and hurt me
I am sensitive oh, way too much

As one who, long in thickets and in brakes
Entangled, winds now this way and now that
His devious course uncertain, seeking home;

Do not become tool
You shall look fool first
As people shall cut jokes
And offer sarcastic strokes

surpass sarcastic smiling hurdles
did i get, for what i was sent? ? ?
to learn, that i was meant.

Recently I heard a poet say that limericks should not rhyme because there is no rhyme for the word 'limerick'. This seemed flimsy reasoning to me but anyway I set myself to find some rhymes for Limerick. Here are some of the (very silly) results:

This crime we daily commit and are often the scene
It is easy means to inflict and remain unseen
Many people are experts in this and very keen

The moon sometimes puts on a ruddy face
With mocking look or sarcastic grimace.
Sometimes it seems to frown as if to reprimand
The antics of a rabid mob in a lawless land.

As we all only once were an embryo the conditioning

The minus sign hung over our future initiating
no ripples in our brainwaves that streamed so freely.

And her rigourous kiss was very painful
As her wisdom tooth pierced my pale lips.
And she raped me.

I did not blinded with the Muse, my dear:
She'll not be called the beauty, charming heart,
And throngs of youths, when sought her passing here,
As crazy lovers, will not run behind.

In this song of Jayadeva, Radha is portrayed as a victim of many emotions. On one hand, she is extremely sad, angry and jealous because Hari is not with her. On the other hand, she is smitten by the fiery and intoxicating arrows of the Cupid. This makes Radha yearn for Krishna more and more. Radha talks to her Sakhi or friend in a sarcastic fashion imagining her beloved Krishna engrossed in amorous plays with the other maidens of Vrindavana.
"O Sakhi! Why the hell are you unhappy?
Does it matter if that unsympathetic dumb- fool does not come?

Cover my eyes that I might not see intolerance
that I should, with handkerchief in hand,
catch the falling tears,
shed with collective sadness

The wayfarer you must be tired now.
Here the inn to get a rest for a while.
Don't be scared, on your wearisome journey
there is no any weighbridge to weigh

When slapped by raving rants
Or flamed with insults.
When slurred by sarcastic sneers.
I know your blood will boil,

I am typical shy girl
Parent often call me pearl
Many pet names are kept by sisters
When I hear them my eyes glitter

Call me not by name
I really feel shame
Not that they call me by real
But by bad name with sarcastic drill

Hoping for miraculous savior and a place called home
Convincing voices broke the quiet night
Patrons and pathetic pouring in incessantly

A sarcastic please was included
To go with my two fresh cream tea’s

His smile through the gap of his front teeth still lingers on
Uttering his last words 'thanks' in a colloquial accent
He went in, his eyes tired but, filled with rare tears of emotion
A roar of the masses, a comrade, has just disappeared,

Blow out the candle and leave us strangers here
We are two parts of the night, so what is the meaning of light?

Wouldn't it be fine to be in silver dressed
As if you were the queen of light or water
I said to myself one night after homework
The school assembly that week

Oh the wife she tried to tell me that 'twas nothing but the thrumming
Of a wood-pecker a-rapping on the hollow of a tree;
And she thought that I was fooling when I said it was the drumming
Of the mustering of legions, and 'twas calling unto me;

There is no light in this frozen heart.
No refractions of love to heat my soul.
I am absent from my own thoughts.
Inconclusive though they may be.

Who won the debate in the polls?
It depends on who one extolls.
CNBC, Time & Fox said it was Trump,
While CNN sided with the frump.

Laid alone in the dust a lily petal,
Broken and dejected from her family,
With no one to play or to battle,
She just murmered her honest plea,

The graceful dancing twigs
made by the excruciating breeze of the fresh air,
I am completely and clearly relaxed, as clear as the cascading river
How peaceful it is,

During the death dances of the Women and men,
I fell that I'm lost in a rainy black glen
Laugh loudly, say funny but DIRTY words,
...
Selfishness and stupidity
tend to be our guides
sarcastic deft acridity
laughing by their side.

Sensing a secluded sarcastic mumble
Mighty ocean, holding up her breath
Commiserating chase, paused the pace
As if, to scan the universe of distance

Who gave these donkeys their horns,
and now they laugh and play with such pride?
Their braying can be heard clearly
as they prance and dance in a foolish performance.

She was being sarcastic when she said that he was a hunk.
But she really thought that he was a punk.
She thought that he was lower than a snake.
And she wanted to drown him in the lake.

Let's sit down and break some bread, pass the wine and ash tray.
Some sweet jazz, Oscar Peterson, Fats Waller and lady Holiday
A table for elbows to lean on as the smoke circles the light
A table as round as his glasses, we will spend this amazing night

A basic vocabulary and some original Letters of Advice from a poetic dialogue stretching over 200 years have been included in the notes at the end of the poem itself and before the original poem and other parodies included for reference
As in any conversation retaining a coherent theme throughout it should make enjoyable sense wherever the thread is taken up or dropped.

Sarcastic?
I am not!
I am cynical.
With touches of skepticism,

An ancient terra-cotta Faun,
A laughing note in 'mid the green,
Grins at us from the central lawn,
With secret and sarcastic mien.

MY emotions have no color,
just a visionary statement,
probing my isolation, outraged,
by all these sarcastic words,

Get away from that dumpster.

I don't care about you pretending not to know me.
Turn your head the other way if you want to.

Still it remains calm and quiet

The fear of an error is already an error
If it is revealed at the end then it is fear
You may go into any depth and analyze
It can be had in maximum or crystallize

But it only hurts more.
I try to hold my head.
But its hard to ignore.

Love surrounds him with its arms
Child wants to reach every corner
Up in the air, flies a Balloon

Vulnerability sets in
Winter cold rubs in
Silver lines drove

The question that lingers the most is why?
Why must I open my sarcastic mouth to joke?
why must criticize people as they go by?
Why is it most dangerous animals that I want to poke?

Again I will emerge
again I will surge
Though troubles are there
challenges are there

Think before you
Return the smile
First, assess

Never did I think;
I would come across
Such a lovely face
And ever did I think;

Butterflies, Complete panic,
A thrill of excitement.
Watching the water, pure and clear,
A feeling of wanting, drilling through my mind.

Why are you leaving me a tree and a rock?
We here are experiencing a severe deficit crisis.
And we need more from our clients,
Than sarcastic gifts!

Just like the mariner of Coleridge’s
The Rime of The Ancient Mariner,
Holding the hand of the wedding guest,
The writer kept telling the tales of life,

Oh! you sweetheart, you beauty with brain,
why did you take me in your arm you lovely dove?
Coz it seriously made me alien
growing a sixth sense in me that is 'love'.
