Good plan batman
But they have to write poems to commemorate Cellar events, like proper laureates. And not rubbish ones like our current Poet Laureate, Andrew Motion.

Why is Andrew Rubbish?

I vote for Giant Salamander.

First, though, we need a nomination thread. And then a voting thread.

To warch re Andrew Motion:

He probably isn't all that bad
I've just never warmed to him is all

And the only place you seem to see his poems is the Daily Mail
perhaps because they are for formal state occasions
but after all - knowing his work is printed in the Hate Mail doesn't improve things

Glad you asked the question tho Warch - I'll probably read more just to see if my prejudice is justified

Ted Hughes was poet laureate of England while back and all those poems he wrote for the Queen kinda sucked. Seemed forced.

Do the bears chase fish in the stream?
Why do bullys have to be so mean?
If you could would you fly?
Over clouds what a sight!
Can the cities uphold
The traffic down below?
Do you live to make everything right?

If that's so...
Can you try with all of your might?

I know where you live! Ohio may be a big place, but I've got one hell of a nose.

Poet Laureate, eh?
I foresee a Thunderdome brimming with ravenous poets, fluffy language ringing in the air, ground slick with brain juice.

an exercise for class (forgive me---it's bad but in a good way--like a chocolate jesus or similar)

Needius Worse than Ever

It’s a secured place so nobody need worry
Keys are given only to those stamped Staff,
and Cheryl is coming on, let’s get to it;
She’s makin’ time and a half.

Carlton is quite a good boy,
Takin’ his meds, a problem never;
Miss Minnie’s been droolin’ over snacktime hash-
but Needius is worse than ever.

We try to make the place look fit
And homey, we put up a Christmas tree-
Needius refused his meds and tripped
Right into it, skinned up his head and knee.

At suppertime, there was vanilla pudding
and Everyone loves that cup;
but Needius took the opportunity
to come to café and throw up!

At twenty-one hundred pill-time
he refused his anti-psychotic;
but I see that our shift (thank god) is over-
and Needius? Well, Cheryl’s got it.

My boy cat is licking my girl cat
He does this all the time--grooming her, lapping and smoothing her fur...
and she LOVES it (and kind of expects it, like royalty expects the genuflect)
but I think it's only because
My girl cat lets my boy cat have
SEX with her. Whenever he wants to.

It must be love.

I can see the stripes in your underwear.
I might take a swipe. Or a bite. Would you care?
Would you mind if I took a chomp on your behind?
My dear. My dear. What a beautiful rear.

skysidhe · 04-18-2008, 08:05 PM

night time falls
all listen
dew on the grass
moonshine glisten
black cat wanders toward the town
my stupid poem makes me frown
