More Doggerel
I was kinda bored and stompy, so I wrote this. It's not about anyone I know, just one or two people I used to know.
Shoot the poet, she can't write.
Cleanse the pages of her blight
And give me back the past
Five minutes of my life.
I've my own angst, I don't need yours.
And I wince in pain at "Saturn's dark pow'rs."
I've dealt with teenage angst by now,
But at that, I cry for hours.
It seems you've the illustrious fate
To with such poetic greats reside.
As "Little Miss Gothy Homicide."
And "Pretentious boy I used to date."
Most can't write, that needs no proof.
But at least they can admit the truth!
You think that you're the new Rimbaud
I think you're the new McGonagall.*
Now to be fair, I must admit
I seem to be a hypocrite.
But I don't write, I just scribble,
And I don't missay "poem" for "drivel."
*William Topaz McGonagall is considered a front runner for Worst Poet in the English Language. His work is truly awful, and he's been dead long enough that we can say it without feeling guilty. A lot of it is online if you wanna look it up.

Some dizzy whore, 1804?
"Bored & Stompy" (BS) sounds like a good name for Teh Gang.
Someone needs to make a game out of that. One side is Keats & Yeats, the other Wilde (And Morrissey, if you really want balance.)
Wilde's ok, but he'll need a lot more than Morrissey on his side to go against Keats and Yeats. (even if Morrissey thinks otherwise!)
Not if it degenerates into a fistfight! Poor Keatsie was consumptive! Mind you, I can't see Wilde being much of a backstreet brawler myself...Yeats could probably take them all.
So true! Yeats will pwn them all.
... aaahahahaha. Bravo, Dreva. *grin*
Wilde might suprise you, he could definetly throw down in his Magdalen days.
