*edge* edge of legibility and that's about all. My stuff's much more lyrical and rolls off the tongue like silvered music, unlike your turgid plodding and contortionate rhyming scheme. I'll grant that you did use the word "hack" before me, but I hadn't read all your dreadful versification as it was making me feel ill, so i didn't actually know until you pointed it out, just.

I'm not suffering from the ravages of any anglo-saxon rune, thank you, although I have got a bit of a headache from your rotten poetry.

My name is Esquilax and I'm the king,
I'm good at rhyming ding-a-ling-a-ling
My poems are the very best
and Mustang's got a hairy chest.

Taw's a nasty Mullah with a towel on his head
He's a lazy git who rarely gets out of bed
Mustang really loves me, he's my bestest chum,
And I think there's a rhyme for that, isn't there, by gum!

<sigh>

Bored of the wise offerings found
On the arse end of my Corn Flakes pack
With quiet desperation, I hasten to add,
I drop back into the wabbit forum
To see what gems the natives here disclose.

More of the same I fear the debate goes round
In circles with the Mullah and the Wabbit hack
Dragging each other through the mud, so sad
It is to see such lack of poetic decorum
As found in both the poetry and prose.

Still I can't complain about the sound
Of constant verbal pounding, and attack.
With every salvo fired and pasting had
The Druid has a cause to fill his jarum
With whiskey which appeals to both the pallet and the nose.

With Stairways for lifting Llama from the ground
Up to his mountain kingdom, and back,
Plus Lada for the Mullah I'm clearly glad
To see this fiscal year out of the doldrum
We found ourselves in times before the war arose.

So keep it up my friends it's made to go round
Dividends this quarter shant be slack.
This life of venture capitalism is not bad
Silent partners and active players won't be glum
When contracts are fulfilled and deals closed.

The only problem facing us is not the dollar or the pound.
Instead it is the thoughts of keeping track
Of which side you are on and avoiding turning mad.
You could just stay out of it, a lurker, but that's hum-drum
What fun is there when not kept on your toes?

Ha! I've got you!
Fact: My chest as smooth as a freshly waxed toilet floor.
However my lack of chest hair does not diminish my manliness. For if Hurcules were still alive today, I'm confident that my pubic hair would be substantially thicker, curlier and stronger!

Ah yes, Taw is now parodying my poetry. Well, they do say that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... As for my rhyming, occasionally I stretch a little, but far less than you. As for "turgid plodding", my poetry rolls of the tongue! Why, it is critcally acclaimed! If you can wait until Monday, I will put you in your place. Then I will have all day to craft something.

presumably because you're always lying face down by the toilet bowl?

take longer if you like, we're in no rush. About 10 years will do. You might be able to knock up a decent verse by then.

This thread deserves a call for the poetry-slam-award of the year. And in - *checks* oh yes - 10 years, the Nobel Prize, first time for a collective author.
You guys are incredible

Indeed, also known as "talking to God on the big white phone", the Llama is a very devout individual.

@zaz:

Zaz - Good to see ye, and thank you. We do our best, although I think that after reading this thread in its entirety, it is clear that *my* best outdoes ole Mullahboy's most of the time .

To bring balance to the force of this thread i could say all the poetry is terrible.


But i won't..i'll instead say..."hmm..strong in the force this rabbit is"

(\__/)
(='.'=) This is Bunny. Copy and paste bunny into your
(" )_(" ) signature to help him gain world domination.

Thanks Revan, old boy. However, which side of the Force are we talkin' 'bout here?

the "rubbish-at-poetry" side of the Force.

No Taw...strong esqy is in the only type of the force that is meaningful..not your pathetic,we're better than you side which you belong to.

That being...the hopping side of the force.

You will either join us or be destoryed!

May the force be with us

Aha! Another convert perhaps, no doubt due to the Rabbit-King's natural leadership and animal magnestism .

Ol' hoppity's getting excited now. Can you hear that thrumming sound? That's one of his hind legs twitching uncontrollably in delight. Someone must be scratching his belly.
