pssst, I was lampooning.

Good, Flint. Live in fear, live in fear.

Trilby · 06-11-2009, 12:50 PM

fer the love of all mankind, WHAT were you lampooning? I MUST know! It's...brilliant!

Shawnee123 · 06-11-2009, 12:52 PM

pssst: it was my version of 99 Laments, for the chickens, Grendelchicken, of course. You were right in your initial comparison.

"Raise your hands
Raise your voice
Give the chickens
Another choice"

*bows*

I may not be a poet, but I know my poets.

wonderful fun.

I changed my user title, too, Shawnee. I am co-queen, after all.

Shawnee123 · 06-11-2009, 01:07 PM

Yay!

I'm also the Lady of Lampooning Laments.

Shawnee123 · 06-11-2009, 01:16 PM

I fixed my title, we're co-Queens, no use me acting like I'm one better.

I wasn't invited, but as I have a strawberry tattoo I figure I MUST have been Strawberry Queen at some point, right?

DanaC · 06-11-2009, 02:04 PM

I get left out of all the really cool stuff! I have no strawberry tattoos or anythin!

*grumbles*

I'll just stick to being English.

[eta] I actually really liked Tiki's poetry. Yes it was self indulgent, and yes she seems to be very enamoured with her own suffering ... but that's often a good basis for poetry. Not usually a great basis for a relationship...but makes for a good poem.

I started reading it, and liked it. But I couldn't get over the fact I thought she was rude, so I didn't want to compliment her. In the end I decided the easiest path was not to read any more, so that I didn't feel too hypocritical. Moral coward here.

Shawnee123 · 06-11-2009, 02:26 PM

I didn't like it much. Easy to replicate, as shown by chickens. Just my opinion, mind you.

Dana, you can be a co-queen as well! I LOVE IT.

glatt · 06-11-2009, 02:27 PM

Tiki's poetry was the only thing of value that she offered to the Cellar, and she deleted that thread. So there you have it.

Sheesh, my humor is lost too often.

Really? That many people liked it?

"I'm Tiki, I was more in love than any of you will ever fathom, I will never get over it, so I'm going to continue to drown in it for as long as you'll have me, and when you tire of me, I'll go do it somewhere else......in my cowboy boots and choir robe."

Too bad. She was a decent poet and I liked hearing about her gardens and chickens.
