Yesterday, I wasted three hours watching
A documentary on Bob Dylan
Ignoring the fact that my bathroom had to be cleaned
I wanted to spend time with my dog
But all he wanted was to sleep
So, I continue to watch it
And there were some people who have passed away
It was wonderful to hear Allen Ginsberg again
To see his mannerisms once more
But it must have been an old documentary
Because it failed to mention being a Nobel Laureate
Anyway, I didn't think why Mr. Dylan was
It should have been, at least, Leonard Cohen
Because he had fourteen books of poetry
And, at the time, two novels
At the end, I failed to see the greatness
Thanks Nelifix, for wasting my time
Some documentary did disappoint, may be you all wnet thru that experience which I have many a time, better to lower our expectations. *****

I would like to translate this poem
Documentaries are not what they were, In fact decadence and mal-adroitness invade all things intellectually important in today's unstable and non -caring world, But your poem was very interesting, well written and well told! Enjoyed. PS Hope you got your bathroom cleaned, that's important. too.
