These are great and I'd like to do a special feature for Bumbershoot of just such "fractured poems." Not general parodies but those like the core ones here that "restate" the original poem with a fine silliness.

[John Whitworth]

Seven ages: first puking and mewling,
Then very pissed off with his schooling,
Then fucks and the fights,
Then judging men's rights,
Then sitting in slippers, then drooling.

This is by Robert Conquest.

Gods chase
Round vase.
What say?
What play?
Don't know.
Nice though.

I've forgotten who wrote that. Not me alas.
