Analysis of So Says My Father (Double Bussekika)

Edwin R Tanguma 1966 (CA)



So Says My Father  (Double Bussokusekika)

Things can get much worse
IF my seal is not returned
So says my father
I wonder where my seal is
Who is holding onto IT
I know it looks cool and all

Some of you might think
As IF things can get much worse
And others might say
What is he talking about
We'll just have to wait and see
Return my signet or else

About this poem

This poem came to mind as I was thinking about current events, while I was wondering about my signet seal... Oh well...Life will go on even IF my seal is not returned...As IF things can get much worse...hahaha I was tempted to write this one as a triple bussokusekika...One for each of the Mary three...hehehe
