Poetry (Author/Poet unknown), unfortunately – By Des Kelly

Poetry Author Poet unknown unfortunately By Des Kelly

 I am not sure if Gerald Vandergert (another good Dutch-Burgher-bugger) wrote this poem, and even if he is still alive, as I write this, but this poem would get a laugh, even from people who have just passed on.

I think, however, that the title should be   “To Whom It May Concern”, and you could post it on eLanka, just for it’s comedy content. My Michelle & Doug were here when I read this poem to them, and they nearly fell out of their chairs, laughing. We NEED this type of poetry on eLanka, to show the world how efficient we are, in showcasing true talent.  Best regards.  Des.

Poem – To all my loved ones.

 

My darling, my lover, my beautiful wife,_
_Marrying you messed up my life._
_I see your face when I am dreaming,_
_That’s why I always wake up screaming._
_Kind, intelligent, loving and hot;_
_This describes everything you are not._
_I love your smile, your face and your eyes,_
_Damn, I’m good at telling lies!_
_My feelings for you, no words can tell,_
_Except for maybe ‘Go to hell.’_
_What inspired this amazing rhyme?_
_A bottle of Feni, little Salt n Lime !_

SRI LANKA NEWS – DECEMBER 2025

To my readers and viewers, near and far May 2026 shine like a guiding star. With health and joy in every day, Let stress dissolve, let happiness stay. Choose meals that nourish, light yet grand, Plant-based treasures, gifts from the land. With fish for strength, and less meat, Balance makes life’s journey sweet. Keep your weight within its range, Small habits bring a lasting change. A daily walk, one hour long, Turns the body steady, the spirit strong. Be kind to family, friends you hold dear, Their love is the wealth that grows year by year. Read my words, watch my videos too, Each crafted with care, kindly shared for you. For age reminds us, health is wealth, And youth proclaims that wealth is health. So let us cherish both, hand in hand, Together we journey across life’s land. Sending my warmest blessings—Dr. Harold Gunatillake Kandy, Sri Lanka.
