英文詩創作:The Banana Cat

更新於 2024/12/19閱讀時間約 1 分鐘
這是我之前住巴厘島的鄰居 Audrey Parks Shabbas 在住家附近照的一張照片。裡面有著一隻看起來似乎是被困住在香蕉樹裡的貓。Audrey 知道我喜歡寫詩,所以她促使我幫這個照片寫一首詩。我是以貓的角度來寫這首詩的,牠看起來有點懶,也有點不舒服,因為卡在香蕉樹上動彈不得。
The Banana Cat
Who are thou, to wake me in mine slumber,
For you shalt see me in mine plunder,
Of the unripe bananas that I hold,
As the bananas that make thyself bold!
If thou shalt try to help thyself in this instance,
Do not stand there at a distance,
But lower thy banana tree to the ground,
For unless you do so,
I shall be bound,
To this extremely itchy and mildly uncomfortable banana mound.
In other words,
I,
As the great kings before me would say,
Am ‘Stuck.’

    昨天我毀壞了一整座山,吃的一頓好餐,也偷了一大堆珠寶、金幣、銀幣。我很滿意。我覺得我應該創作一首詩來紀念這麼好的一天。這首詩會被其他喜愛黃金的龍在無聊的時候吟唱著,流傳千古。是的,我覺得這是個好主意。那我就開始寫了:
