Marubia Geroom

Marubia Geroom she is. :-D

Once upon a time,
In a land full of goons,
Was a woman shrouded blue,
Named Marubia Geroom

Marubia Geroom,
Lived in a shoe
With a room and a shrew
And a big brown broom

She snored till noon,
and was heavy with gloom
Till the month of June
With the dread of doom

She soared on her broom,
Marubia Geroom,
And landed on the moon
To demand a boon

"Release me," she crooned,
to the royal cherub,
"Me and my shrew,
from this life of rue!"

So he gave her a spoon,
and a flower that bloomed
And a big bang BOOM
That landed her in a tomb

There she was marooned,
With a flower and a spoon,
And a hungry old shrew
Till the month of June

The shrew ate the spoon,
And lo and behold!
Turned into a groom,
The flower a bridal plume!

Then life was a tune
From morn till noon,
The future looming true,
For sweet Marubia Geroom!

Okay, so I was trying to figure out what the origin of "Marubian Geroom" was, but I couldn't find anything helpful. Did you choose a random name, or is there a meaning behind it? I thought maybe "geroom" foreshadowed the ending, but I also feel like this is meant mostly for entertainment and was written as a sort of silly poem (but very impressive, I can't rhyme very well, so people who can are always admirable to me in that respect) and I might be overanalyzing it. Anyway, it is a rather enjoyable read, with a lovely rhythm and amazing AAAA etc. rhyme scheme (wow! the entire poem written off the back of one phonetic "oo" sound!). I liked the way you conveyed Marubia Geroom's sorrow in the very first stanza (having her dressed in blue, how clever!) even before the reader knew of it. I love how well the poem flows as a whole, seeming to rhyme perfectly even though (I only realized it after reading it a third time) most of the rhymes are actually near-rhymes (seriously, I didn't notice--I didn't even notice that the first line doesn't keep with the rhyme scheme, either, so great job managing to manipulate the phonics of the English language!). Nice and refreshing, thank you so much for sharing (love the image you chose, by the by).
