Canterbury Tales Poems

These were a couple of the best poems from "The Canterbury Tales".

"The Real Estate Agent" by Emily
As we continued I met the doctor's spouse
Well versed on the ways of dwellings
She spoke of mansions, cottages, and houses
All of which she wouldn't mind selling.
To any man that could be convinced
A hole in the wall, never fear
Have a dog? the yard is fenced
No late night lover's quarrels will you hear.
For these walls are nearly sound proof
Don't fret about that mouse scurrying by
Or the shingles falling off the roof
She assured perfection with every choice
Well seasoned in the ways of deceiving
On closing day, her clients rejoiced
Months later they were left weeping
Because they revealed all the flaws
This lady had kept so well hidden.
Against her actions, there should be laws
For how they're left with a broken home to live in.

"The Foreign, Viciously Mean Talent Contest Judge" by Jake
Since the birth of reality television
Every contest has had to feature
This rude, snobby, and usually British,
Horrid little creature.

Humiliating you on live TV
Must be his only passion
His tight v-neck and sharp crew-cut
Mark his terrible sense of fashion.

"That was excrutiating!" and "Worst I've ever heard!"
Are his favorite lines to quote.
Try as you might, America,
You will never get his vote.

He laughs on the inside as he mocks your performance
With an evil little scowl.
Good luck getting Hollywood
If you sing for Simon Cowell.

"The Elementary Gym Teacher" by Paulina
He has no suit or fancy tie to wear to work each day
Shorts, t-shirts, and tennis shoes are his way.
From early morning to three in the afternoon
He wishes that his day would end soon.
He works hard sitting in his classroom
Yelling out commands for one to do.
Teachers are grateful when they drop the students off with a smile
To have these children out of their hands for a little while.
From kindergarten to fifth
All their antics he has to deal with.
And make sure they aren't still too long
And he makes corrections when they jump rope wrong.
Many stories he has to tell
And they all begin with the ringing of a bell.
