Mr. Bonaparte

by Calista Dirdja

Ey up, Mr. Bonaparte!
Thou art smart
yet is thy soul lionheart?
no matter what
we could be a counterpart, eh?
seeing the big picture
oh, I see we both are achievers
put them on a Gantt Chart to look clever.

Now, thou wonder,
is it a blooper?
no, Sir, it’s a censure.
Then, thou shalt know the answer—
I’m that girl of English Literature,
this post is pointless, but wait, 
is it really meaningless?
here’s to be sure,
there is ’cute’ in ‘acuteness.’
