[Xenophon]

Ching Chong Chinaman tried to milk a cow.
Ching Chong Chinaman didn't know how.
Ching Chong Chinaman pulled the wrong tit.
Ching Chong Chinaman covered in tulip.

............a northern classic

Amusing and racist at the same time. I agree - classic northern humour.

Was that an
attempt at
postmodern
poetry?

The people of the World all have a purpose
I alone apear stubborn and uncouth
Like a new born babe that cannot smile
Unattached
Like one without a Home

Sometines Naked,Sometimes Mad
Now as a contractor, now as a fool,
Thus, they appear on earth

The Freemen of CUK

Cos Id rather stay here
With all the Madmen
Than perish with the Sadmen roaming free

I..I found him Mummy ...can I keep him ....

A Silly Poem

Said Hamlet to Ophelia,
I'll draw a sketch of thee,
What kind of pencil shall I use?
2B or not 2B?

I think you should be declared the boards Poet Laureate for that one.

I forged it, it's not really mine.

Of course, it's Threaded the original author, who else?

Sorry if I'm about to sound uncouth and uneducated, but peoms bore the living sh1t out of me. Can we stop this thread now please ?

We're Late




Clocks cannot tell our time of day
For what event to pray

Because we have no time, because
We have no time until

We know what time we fill,
Why time is other than time was.

Nor can our question satisfy
The answer in the statue's eye:

Only the living ask whose brow
May wear the Roman laurel now;

The dead say only how.

What happens to the living when we die?
Death is not understood by Death

Nor You

Nor I.

WH Auden

A Pie


" A Pie.
Who would not die for a pie?
I lie in bed
and think of pie
Who would not die
for pie?

But if I had pie
would I die?
I choose to lie
in bed
Thinking about pie.
So much that i would die!
But if I die than I couldn't eat pie,
And I would
Lie in bed
And think of pie
I would try to get pie,
But bcause I died,
I cannot have pie,
No matter how hard I try.
I can only lie
and think of pie...

...
...Yumm
Pie...

Where is the pie?


...I ate it... "

[John Galt]

CHANGE
An addiction to learning
Developed daily by imitation
Opens the door to empathy
And the capacity to love.

The power of consciousness
Allowing the option of self-renewal
Extension of the senses in turn
Sharpens the mind.

The goal of positive action
Coupled to implementation
Creates positive self-expression
And to the inevitable social evolution.

Fishermen
by a rocky shore,
winds blowing wildly,
in a boat unmoored--
such is our condition.
