Among the pride of lions – shudders a lonely deer, a cute one; <br />Along bowfins and dolphins fumbles a fingerling – a little one, <br />I'm a waxing gibbous moon riding in the lonely sky..... <br />I'm a crackpot – always under the lonely cloud, I don’t why! <br />'Jack-in-the-box sitting before idiot box in the night! ' Sings a lonely fox! <br />Aloof I am – I met a lonely goof on my only roof! Woof! Woof! <br /> <br />Aloof I am, a lone blue bird hopped up– my blood red ran cold! <br />Aloof I am, a lone red bird popped up – fear returned me in letters bold! <br />Aloof I am – hugged aloneness; aloof I am – aloneness bugged me; <br />Aloof I am – invited aloneness; aloof I am – lonely bug has bitten me. <br />'Jack-in-the-box sitting before idiot box in the night! ' Sings a lonely fox! <br />Aloof I am – I met a lonely goof on my only roof! Woof! Woof! <br /> <br />Aloof I am, sitting in my corridor, I invited aloneness for a treat; <br />Aloof I am, walking on the barren moor, loneliness lurked to beat; <br />Aloof I am, I felt a stab in my heart, my skin turned blue by lonely heat; <br />Aloof I am, oh my god! Aloneness is butchering me for my meat! <br />'Jack-in-the-box sitting before idiot box in the night! ' Sings a lonely fox! <br />Aloof I am – I met a lonely goof on my only roof! Woof! Woof! <br /> <br />Where do you come from? Did I mail thee? Oh! Lonely emperor; <br />What is your name? Why do you tame me? I fear your lonely roar; <br />I hail thee; I surrender thee; I pray thee; oh lonely prince of honor; <br />Don’t nail me for I know you before, I can’t bear thee – oh no more! <br />'Jack-in-the-box sitting before idiot box in the night! ' Sings a lonely fox! <br />Aloof I am – I met a lonely goof on my only roof! Woof! Woof!<br /><br />Harindhar Reddy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/aloof-i-am-i-met-a-lonely-goof-on-my-only-roof-woof-woof/
