Poem of the Day: Together forever... until the 8th of December

by 'Daniella'

Today sees the last in a series of five poems about December here on Poem of the Day. It's also Funny Friday, of course, so I have searched out this amusing little piece for your delectation.

It can be surprisingly hard to find funny poems around the web, and even more so if you're after a very specific topic. This was the best I could do, though I don't mind too much as I personally find it quite amusing. The author is a 15-year-old South African who posted it on Poems & Quotes a month ago today (you can read the original posting, with its own comments, here). And that's about all the biographical information I have for you.

Together forever ~ we'll never part
Together forever ~ you have my heart
Noah and Allie in modern day
Through the test of time our love will stay
The perfect couple; meant to be
The perfect couple ~ you and me
"Together forever" is what I remember...
Together forever, till the 8th of December

In the author's words, "I wrote this because my friend kept saying how she knew that my boyfriend and I would last forever and that we're like Noah and Allie from The Notebook, but she already knew that we're gonna break up... so it's pretty ironic."

Next Monday is the 8th, you know. I don't know if they're breaking up then or if this was last year. You can always ask her if you like. Do let us know if you do.

And that's the last Funny Friday until January. Sorry. Why? All will become clear soon enough...
