Ode to DT

[friedgreentomato]

It’s rare that I am forced to write
A poem that you’ll think is broccoli
We have some talent on AB
Talent that is plain to see

But plagiarism gets my goat
It’s good to see what others wrote
It’s better if that work is said
To be from those who may be dead

The dead of course they cannot sue
But I will guess a grave or two
Have revolving poets stuck therein
You’ll really have some in a spin

You have some talent, I’ll confess
But of the poems, can we see less?
For Shelley, Keats, Graves and Owen
Please, please, please do not keep going

I hope that you don’t mind me saying
Remember that I am just playing
This isn’t meant to cause offence
And I know you have the sense
To take it in light hearted fashion
Cos really we do think you’re smashin
It’s just that every now and then
Cerebrally I canna ken
A bit of rhyme with originality
Might help ensure less banality
So dear dt, our would be bard
Please make them rhyme
S’not Fluffing hard!!!!

[B00]

Don't get poems, so my eyes glazed over a bit, no offense, im like that with ALL poems.

Would ya be so kind as to gimme a condensed Boo friendly version of what you're saying?

Ta :_)

[Zacs-Master]

I read it as a criticism of DT taking classic poetry and adapting it which he's admitted to doing. And may I say, with great skill.

[Tilly2]

I can't wait for the response!

[B00]

Oh righty Zak, ta x

[B00]

Gordon Bennet! *Zacs*- apologies.

[Zacs-Master]

Dinnae worry yersel

[Mick-Talbot]

I have tried reading them but for the most part, they make no sense, even when pissed.

[B00]

Im afraid I have to admit to being a total philistine, I just don't 'get' poetry at all. As lovely as they undoubtedly are, I just skim 'em when I see them on here.

[friedgreentomato]

Just my attempt as some humour Boo.

Very tongue in cheek just as DT's are I am sure he will see the funny side of it!

[sunny-dave]

There was a young lady called B00
Who considered that all verse was P00
"It hasn't much class
So I wipe my arse
With sheets of it hung in the L00"

< gets coat >

[ummmm]

Now,if they were all that short ;-)
