A Satire For Cramjones. by joseph1832(m): 1:03pm On Jan 02, 2016

Mr cramjones hey! What did you cram?
Or should I say, who did you scam?

Is it Grace Jones or is it Tom Jones?
Did you Jonze the Jonze of Nairalanders?

Promising them hundred of benjamins,
Later giving them hundreds of testaments.

Did you feed the minds of Nairalanders,
Only to blind the minds of Nairalanders,

With hopes of minted, supplements
Tainted with wasted, requirements?

Mr Cramjones hey! always learn to cram,
Or should I say, learn never to scam,

For the hills have eyes, the walls have ears,
Forest have noses, mountains have mouths,

Now Mr Cramjones please, run and scram
And never again please, us with your scam.

ANALYSIS OF THE POEM

PLOT: The poem focuses on a particular nairaland moniker, who made the promise of giving $500 to any moniker randomly selected, as long as that moniker comment on the thread created for that specific purpose. Only for the said moniker to come up with frivolous reasons....

STRUCTURE OF THE POEM: The poem is a sixteen line poem with eight stanzas, written in couplet form. The poem is also a satire written for the sole purpose of criticizing the said moniker who promise to give $500. The poem made use of internal rhyme, rather than end rhyme.

POETIC DEVICE:

Repetition: "Mr Cramjones Hey", used in lines 1 and 9. The words "Nairalanders" used in lines 4, 7 and 8. The words "Cram" used in lines 1 and 10 and the word "Scam" used in lines 2, 12 and 16.

Personification: "The hills have eyes", "the walls have ears", "forest have noses", and "mountains have mouths" used in lines 13 and 14 in the poem.

Metaphor: "later giving them hundreds of testaments", "with hopes of minted supplements", "tainted with wasted requirements" used in lines 5, 6, 9 and 10.

Symbolism: "Nairalanders" used in lines 4, 7 and 8, meaning the collective hope, yearning, expectation and aspiration of members of the forum.

Neologism: The word "Jonze" in line 4 of the poem.

Consonance: In line 14 of the poem. "Mountains have mouth".

Euphemism: Used in line 16 of the poem. "Please, us with your scam".

All the more reason why I asked the rhetorical question, "what did you cram?", cos obviously, the dude must have been cramming something for him to put up that offer.
