Poetry?

I will do my worst, and you know just how bad that can be, don't you?

Wednesday is the earliest, though. Real Life intrudes.

Time needed

I have to invoke Apollo and the Muses for a theme of this importance. Getting the paraphenalia together takes time. Now is it "eye of newt and leg of frog" or the other way round?

I know what will bring them! "Pile of Crap". I'll e-mail them Chapter One.

Og

It worked!

Invocation

Apollo strum your heavenly lyre
Send me some inspiring fire
Or better still the Muses nine
So that my poetry will rhyme
But if you cannot spare the lot
I’ll make do with what you’ve got.
I rather not have Terpsichore
She needs a clear dance floor.
Erato would be really handy,
Her I’d buy a box of candy.
You can keep the other eight
Because my readers won’t wait.
If you won’t send the nine,
I’ll just lie and cry and whine.
You’ll grant my plea?
O praises be, now we’ll see
To what depths I can sink
In this saga of stink.

Og

Ode to oggbashan

Oh ogg, your talent knows no bounds
Your gift for words on turds in mounds
Such skill, such class to marvel at
If it wasn’t for your silly hat!

Yours in awe,

Octavian

Re: It worked!

Invocation

Dear Og,
That was lovely. Truly inspired. DG will proudly use that as an introduction to "The Noble Garderobe."

Hay, Octavian. Nice verse. How about submitting a few for the epic in preparation?

MG, amanuensis

 

[oggbashan]

My fundamental contribution ...

... has been sent to DurtGurl as a PM.

Now I've done it. I've invoked the Muses of Scat. See who can beat that.

Og.

Garderobe epick

Yes, "The Noble Garderobe" is coming together now, thanks to halp from Mr Docbuse, Go, Rd Rdr, Labriel Gee, and a few others. As requeasted, I have cuntingly disquized their true names by using a unbrekeable code.

Anyone else who wishes to vomit fourth a vearse or too should PM them soon or be left at the corner as the DG Group buss passes.

Woo woo,
DG

 

[oggbashan]

The end is in sight

Just sent a revised, improved, all better (well most of it not) version of my pome to DG.

It ends:

"Now heaven forfend
Seems I've got to the end.
To Apollo the paean:
Thanks, Muses, for peeing."

Og

#$%$&^%&&^%$!!

Dear Og,
And YOU'RE the one who thinks we should clean up our act.

Re: #$%$&^%&&^%$!!

Dear Og,
And YOU'RE the one who thinks we should clean up our act.
MG

No. I'm the one who says ...

Do I always say what I think?

Or mean what I say?

Birthing pains-Threatened abortion

Work on "The Noble Garderobe" has ground to a steaming, stinking halt. I never knew the job of editing could be such a bitch. Trying to take material from several different sources and crunch it into a cohesive mass is almost impossible.

I have three different rhyme and meter schemes. I have one sort of free form ode. I have verses to be sung to "Under the Boardwalk." My own verses are to be sung to "Oh, Tannenbaum." Good grief! Now all I need are a few which are to be sung to "Ein Feste Burg ist Unser Gott" or "Celeste Aida."

I fear that the wheels are about to come off the project. Might be best for humanity.

[oggbashan]

No problem

Just take the lot and post it as separate chapters of the pome.

Stick a few ***** in between each submission to show the break, then post a parrot to get votes from this board.

Og
PS. Have you got my revised contribution?

I sympathise. The trick is to define rhyme and meter when you initially ask for submissions, as you did for that tour de foreskin, the batchelors hand. You could always go for an anthology format though.

Dear GL,
Good thought, both you and Og. It's hard to do, though, when some parts would be only one verse.

If a Group member wishes to volunteer to take over the project, I'll be glad to forward the whole mess.

Ps. Unfortunately, I assumed that it was understood that the rhyme and meter would be the same as in the "B's H." My misteak.

It's so difficult to maintain consistency in these troubled times, isn't it?

You could try asking those nice people in Poetry Feedback.
