Untitled # 1

We are the peoples' nation of Zrcheckslovanounious.
No one is able to pronounce us.
Our citizens therefore denounce us.
We're a proud population of three.

Our emperor he is a llama.
Who has his very own song-a.
He wrote it whilst hitting a bong-a.
He'll 'maaaaah' at you for free.

So welcome to the Republic.
Don't drink our water - you'll get sick.
Our Emperor Mo Mao Mick
says: 'mahh mahh mahh merr meer meee'

About This Poem

Last Few Words: Motivation and focus: My profile random question over on blogspot asked to "write a new national anthem using an animal sound at least once." - I figured it was a ridiculous and silly request, so I found it fitting to write a ridiculous poem, and therefore tried to stretch the boundaries of lunacy! Format is a modified Tanaga Quadrameter. Hopefully, the right selection was made as to 'eastern' or 'western' It is untitled for now, because I haven't been able to think up something epic yet. I'm going for full-blown ridiculous.

Style/Type: Structured: Western

Review Request Intensity: I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

Editing Stage: Editing - rough draft

Awesome!

The last stanza could use some tweaking with the meter (especially since the first two are excellent), but otherwise I just plain loved this poem.
