Tarzan and Jane

                               Tarzan and Jane

You seem to think ,

That I am your possession,

Not a person ,a belonging,

To lay claim to ,

While you pound your chest,

And mark your territory.

Like a cave man ,

"Me Tarzan ,you Jane "

Come ride on my vine ,

'Peel my banana,

and stick it in your mouth."

I have had it with bananas.

Stomping around proclaiming your worth,

I'm standing here wondering,

Really? what is your worth?

Mister "I fought a Bengal tiger",

When in fact you were hiding 

In the bushes whispering "is it gone ?"

Far be it for me,to rain on your parade,

So here I am nodding like an idiot,

While you look at me, 

To confirm your manliness,

And here I am rolling my eyes

And doing the same thing again tomorrow .

This is cute and perfect for those days when your significant other just isn't acting up to par. Or, you find yourself reading just another one of those erotic romances so common and mainstream today.

Love the banana part, but then again, I have a dirty mind!

[Vidya Bacchus]

So do I ,have a dirty mind I mean lol. Thank you Elly :)

I like this, this is really cute and has a good sense of meaning towards what Tarzan could be really. I like it good job!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you demii :)

A creative write this one! I love how u captured both Tarzan's innocence and his wild side, he is after all "uncivilized". Great write!

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Inda :)

Long time no see! I really like this poem. :) My only suggestions would be to place the commas, periods, and question marks closer behind the words rather than having those gaps. Like this:

"You seem to think,
That I am your possession,
Not a person, a belonging,
To lay claim to,
While you pound your chest,
and mark your territory.

Like a cave man,
"Me Tarzan, you Jane "
Come ride on my vine,
'Peel my banana,
And stick it in your mouth."

In the bushes whispering, "Is it gone?"

So here I am nodding like an idiot,
While you look at me,
To confirm your manliness,
I am rolling my eyes
And doing the same thing again tomorrow."

Thank you my friend .Nice to see you.I will fix my punctuation .Damn those commas always get me lol :)

[RealistMe]

LOL! That's okay. It's like that old saying, practice makes perfect. :)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Yeah ,yeah :P

[Corset]

lol, "I fought a Bengel Tiger" while you where hiding in the bushes. The first and best thing i've read today.
"I've had it with bananas"the good and bad thing about bananas is that they come in bunches...lololol. (pardon me but I amuse myself often but this morning you have helped out with that!)

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you corset .You made me laugh :)

[Corset]

[Lydia Shutter]

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Lydi :)

[Saddam]

Thought....what a relative thought. To close and beautifully write. Bengal tiger are roared then whole wood shake.... Be careful...
(smile).... Great poem Vidya...

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you Ssadd :)

[zainul]

I adore the lovely work for a number of reasons.
The major ones are:
1.You recreated Tarzan here in our Cafe and demonstrated his escapist role in a sarcastic way.
2.I am very pleased that you fought a Bengal tiger alone while Tarzan was hiding in a bush.
That Bengal tiger was born in our Sundarbans.
I salute your creative work!

[Vidya Bacchus]

You have a sense of humour my dear friend .I am glad you enjoyed it .Poetry doesn't always have to be so deep, sometimes it just has to put a smile on your face .Thank you for your kind words :)

[zainul]

Thanks for the compliments.Yes,I agree with you that sometimes a poem just has to put a smile on our face.
Smile is a great medicine.

[Vidya Bacchus]

Thank you my friend your words always mean so much :)
