Alright, let's take this thread to the next level. Now that we have gotten our favorite words out there, let's write bad poetry using those favorite words.

I'll start:

I heard a throstle in the gloom.
He was the apostle of Doom!

(Wait, I think that couplet might be bad-good. Didn't Hardy write something like that?)

Hey - aren't we going to get blasted if we post poems in this forum?

Ann Drysdale: "Hey - aren't we going to get blasted if we post poems in this forum?"

But as the saying goes, if we post prose poems, no-one will know.

Ah, yes, Prosedy.

Sorry, but we must stick to the rules, folks, and our own poems aren't allowed in a GT thread.

But - I can either move this thread to Drills & Amusements, or Aaron could start a new thread at D & A, for bad poems using our favourite words - which I think is a better option, personally; I'd like to keep this one going just for people's favourite words, rather than switch it to something else at this point.

Aaron . . . it's your call :)

Rules schmules.


...oh crap!

Aaron Poochigian 04-13-2017 02:20 PM

RuleZ SchmoolZ! Nah, I understand. Jayne, could we move the whole thread over to Drills and Amusements? Mostly because I want to read a poem by you that contains the word "skanky" (It rhymes--twice-with "hanky-panky"). Hmn: Frankly, Mrs. Shankley, your hanky-panky is skanky.

Right-o. I've just got in from going to the cinema and it's almost midnight. Give me a few minutes and I'll move this thread to D & A, where everyone can have even more fun! :)

Away we go . . . Bad poems using our favourite words.

Looking at some people's favourite words, I'll bet they're now wishing they chose simpler ones! Haha. That'll teach yer!
