Ode to Silliness

saucyminx · 07-11-2005, 06:49 AM

I feel silly today! I want to share!

I love cat
It's a nice pet
It's too bad
That my dad
Doesn't like that
He says that
"A cute cat
Is a flat cat"
I feel sad
At least my cat
Still remains fat
And not flat
Yes, I know that
This poem is bad.

Thank you for your time! *bows*

Fairygdmther · 07-11-2005, 06:53 AM

Cute, Mira! I love cats, too!

"A cat is a cat and that's that!"

Do you know why monkeys sing?
Monkeys sing because that's their thing!
A monkeys song is special indeed
It's the only sound that'll make your ears bleed
With lyrics that bend and curve with grace
And leave you with a contorted face.
They swing from trees and pick out fleas
And wipe their bums with banana leaves.
As they do they'll sing to you,
Crouching down to wipe their off their stinky poo,
Of jaguars, and Mayans, and coupe d'etats
And cherrys and plums and wild walnuts.
Chances are it might drive you crazy,
Make you dribble with one eye lazy,
But that's the risk to hear their song -
One day you might just sing along!
So if in the jungle you start to hear singing,
Head the other way before your head starts ringing,
Because chances are it's a monkeys song
And even worse, it could be King Kong.

There's a monkey in my pocket
and he's stealing all my change.
His stare is blank and glassy.
I suspect that he's deranged.

^ The height of poetry, even if traditionally expressed in song form

squarejawhero · 07-11-2005, 08:01 AM

Tabacco's jokes can make you choke
And aren't particularly addictive.
A bit like smoke they disappear quickly
as they're never very effective.
I hold myself for the possible flame
Filled with bile and invective
But deep down he knows I'm only joking
And being rather wicked.

squarejawhero · 07-11-2005, 08:19 AM

Coming back from market I met a sheep with a bowler hat
Who walked with grace, white wool and black face,
Yet his girth was rather fat.
"Hello, good sir!" I greeted him loudly, and as I did
He stopped to stand there and preened himself proudly.
"That's a fine hat" I said, as he held it aloft in greeting.
"Why, thank you my man, I've just come back from a meeting.""
A meeting? A sheep? It seemed so absurd! But not so much so
That a pelican bird
Came trundling up beside him.
"Fine sirs, what a beautiful day!" The Pelican bird did say.
"I gather you were both at the church."
"Not I," said the sheep, with a lurch to the side.
"I've just been to a meeting of council."
"Of council!" squawked the bird. "About that new eyesore?
The new building they've made down the way?"
"I've heard it's a sty" said a pig with a black eye,
Who'd joined us from the field bailing hay.
"Not a sty, but a mall" said a black Spanish bull,
Who'd parachuted in from the sky.
"A mall of infinite jest!" said the sheep,
Just as two mosquitoes in a jeep pulled over
Both wearing identicle vests.
"They enjoy a good joke" Said the three toed-sloth,
Sitting in the back of the jeep playing cards.
"So they're the investors?" I asked the sheep.
"No we're mosquitoes."
And with that I went home.

Ode to Summer

My summer is a sacred thing
With much fun, laziness the sun doth bring
but not this summer, oh no, sob sob
I had to get a shitty job
no more sleeping in till noon
up at the ass crack of dawn since June
now i'm a hard working yuppie
no more bubblegum slush puppies

squarejawhero · 07-11-2005, 09:29 AM

Tempsies ode is genius,
So much so I'm insanely jealous.
No so much about the job
Because I'm too much of a lazy slob.

Hammerite · 07-11-2005, 09:33 AM

Mr. Macbeth was a naughty man...
Doo doo doo doodoo...
He went and killed anuvva man...
Doo doo doo doodoo...
I've got a good idea,
So just you keep me near,
I'll be so good for...
Scottish play.

Intrepid Homoludens · 07-11-2005, 09:54 AM

This thread is getting weird,
For that I'm feeling stress,
But to worse it could be steered,
Like squaresie in a dress!

Fairygdmther · 07-11-2005, 10:18 AM

I went to the forum without a toga,
The Romans would be shocked.
There were no gladiators,
The people only talked.
No pacing wild animals,
No roaring lions mocked.
For this is Adventure Gamers,
And we get doors unlocked.
And lots of kinds of puzzles,
But hate them when they're clocked.

Lynsie

squarejawhero · 07-11-2005, 10:27 AM

There once was an Intrepid Homoludens
An explorer of infinite taste
He wore a metal hat, carried a gold cricket bat
And never let a word go to waste.
As he set off on his latest adventure,
A journey into the wild blue yonder,
He took to the skies with a wink in his eye
On a chase to find incredible wonders!

His first stop was an island of Monkeys and Cheese
Where he discovered a wild Fairygodmother.
She washed herself daily, enjoyed napping and whaling
And was suprised to find he was her father.
"But this is not possible!" the adventurer exclaimed
"I've never had my way with a woman!"
"A woman!" She cried as she took him aside
"My dear, getting drunk is your failing!"

She took him to a cave to meet TemporaryScars,
A lion with a penis of lead.
As he entered the cave the terrible knave,
Clubbed him with it and left him for dead.
Our Trepsie discovered it was merely a plot
To steal his beloved cricket bat,
But as he stood up and looked around they were gone
So he dusted himself down and then sat.

And he sat, and he sat, and he gave it some thought,
Then started to walk back to his plane.
Halfway down the hill he realised he was lost -
and then it started to rain...
"Golden showers!" He cried as he ran inside
A hut made of solidified custard
Which naturally melted and caused quite a mess
And poor Trepsie found himself rather flustered.

*more to come when I've got the time and inclination*

saucyminx · 07-11-2005, 10:33 AM

Holy moley! *glazed eyes* Did you just make those up on the spot, Squaresie?

Not only he's got looks, he's got wits, too!!!

squarejawhero · 07-11-2005, 10:35 AM

Yes I did, dear Mira,
How can I make it seem clearer?
Nonsensical poems are great!
Now if you'll excuse me I've got food to make
And it's getting incredibly late.

*edited for timing*

saucyminx · 07-11-2005, 10:39 AM

Dear Squaresie,
So witty,
And a looky,
He strings words in a jiffy,
Oh, Lordy!
I'm filled with admiration, already,
He's da man, ain't he?
Yes, indeedy!
He's off to make dinner ready,
A man who cooks, how sexy!

squarejawhero · 07-11-2005, 10:42 AM

Thankyouverymuchly!

edit - I'm all shy now!

edit2 - Have a BRAND NEW Gorillaz video as thanks and token of appreciation.

Intrepid Homoludens · 07-11-2005, 10:57 AM

The Trep pokes his head in
And spies all the love
'Tween Mira and squaresie
And all the above

He ponders the heavens
And depths of the oceans
But don't have a clue
For all this commotion

With Fairygdmther
And Scottsie all gushing
Whilst Eltsie's avoiding
temp's sexual rushings

And Hammerite's 'session
With ol' Shakespeare's rhymes
What if all his plays
Were staged by French mimes?

"And whoah, WTF!"
Trep yelled in his head,
"I should best be off,
To tuck Worsmie in bed."

The Worm, however
Had other wick plans
He made and assembled
Anti-AG clans

This isn't surprising
And should be ignored
His life's just a-shifting,
Poor Wormsie is bored

"Alas," said the Trepsie,
"I'll just go and brood,
And sigh in my vsions
Of Eltsie all nude...."

Fairygdmther · 07-11-2005, 12:18 PM

While Mira and Squarsie are eyeing each other,
And I watch my friends, I'm just Fairygdmther,
And Wormsie is changing and growing before us,
With a melody like an opening chorus.
And wonderful Trep, who is always the flirt,
Is panning someone - look out - you'll get hurt!
And our Southern gentleman, Scott the wise,
Has become the guru for some of the guys.
And Tempsie and Ron Jeremy intertwine,
To tease us and taunt us to drink no more wine.
And Elton who shames us with physical skills,
Of rock-climbing prowess and biking on hills.
And Fovily struggles to keep us in line,
While Jackal reminds us to keep it benign.
And Jake who will comment without reservation,
His well-reasoned thoughts about innovation.
And Doug who keeps this entire place running,
And Marek, the boss, occasionally punning.
And Kingz and Bastich with their rib-poking roasts,
Come after us all with their waking-up posts.
With Pinksie and Boytoy, a really fun couple,
And Scrugsie and Nutty Gal, our newest double,
And lovable Gilly, who keeps Trep in line,
And Guybrush who's doing his military time,
And SamIamsad, but really he isn't!
And SamNMax, thirteen, but going on wizened!
And Jaz with her quirky and fun observations,
And Rama and Talas who join in libations,
And Manhunter will tease us, and Ninth will join in
As many and more will come here and grin.
For this is the forum we all love to be at -
Adventure Gamers - the forum compleat.

Please forgive me if I've left you out - I could have gone on longer, but they got the hook out for me to drag me off! Sorry...

Lynsie
