' blah blah '
hermeneutic complexities
dissolve into a gurgling stream
of onomatopoeic giggles
kids of the world laugh as kids would
any place on the planet earth
caw cawing about little things
tick tocking through the drudgery
of dull classroom expositions
hee hawing through an argument
oink oinking about the boredom
plop-plopping or wheezing across
the meanings that lie with the words
ka-ha kuh-uk-ing like a coot
pipit-pipit-ing like pipits
they don't care 'bout the blah blah blah
but live and love as the kids would ..

aah brilliant, will have to read it a number of times, it gives me such an great internal smile.
Great - love the rhythm, the words, the scenes and the smiles.
This was great..isn't that the truth!
And so it goes. Well done.
I nearly got the dictionary out after the first stanza, but after the third I didn't care. Brilliant!
Well 'said', zoya!
Don't you just get tired of words sometimes?
To understand some words, I used word web. Brilliant one
wonderful!! it makes me think that most of what i say is superfluous
Excellent poem- I love the "blah, blah, blah" and I'm sure the kids hear that from me (or don't) a lot. I also love the alliteration and rhythm.
.. many thanks everyone ..
The bubbling, gurgling, language in this is awesome ... makes me think of a day at the park with the kids :)
Peace,
