An odd fullstop would do no one any harm, sweetie.

Deeply boring and pretentious. Over-punctuated and empty.
Utterly terrible. Total defecation. 10/10 for a good laugh!

There seems to be some friendly badinage I am missing out on here.

The poem is crap.
on Fascists by Imago 29 Oct 2006, 4:40 AM
Trite. You probably don't even know what a fascist is. I shall be generous for a change: 1/10

I have been to the baths at Lucca. They were out of soap at the time so I had to make do with a tinkle.

Before using foreign words, you need to have just a TEENY knowledge of the language involved. And you don't. 0/10 as a reward for combining ignorance, pretension and lack of humour.
on The Pit’s Bottom by Dovina 27 Oct 2006, 4:31 PM
A combination of pretentiousness and ignorance. Boring too! I'll be generous and score it 4/10, no silly me 2/10.

Perhaps you should be posting this on a different website.

Anyway what do you expect going on a common package tour at cheapo prices?

I thought this was excellently well written and a great description of a mighty trouser snake trying to get a slice of the action. A well deserved 10/10 and ignore the previous naff comments; these people have no taste.
on The world's shortest poem by ALChemy 29 Oct 2006, 4:32 AM
Not short enough.

It is wonderful to find someone who writes a two word poem AND ONE OF THEM IS SPELLED WRONGLY! An unbeatable achievment.

A graceful member of the family were thee

This should be ......wert thou.

As someone else said, don't use language you don't understand. Nothing is worse than ignorant affectation.
on Vote Goats by ALChemy 29 Oct 2006, 4:34 AM
Well, this poem is very badly written. It also contains poor grammar and syntax. And the primordial slime bit is a bit over the top. I am tempted to give it 0/10 just out of bitchiness but that would be unfair as it holds a kernel of truth in its clumsiness.

So 5/10. You can't say fairer than that now can you, Al, dearie?

Embarrassingly badly written. The first stanza is doggerel. The use of "man" in the last line is appalling.

I think you have found your true vocation in the armed forces. A gun will lie better in your hands than a pen. Happy shooting and killing!

It's not that you are illiterate (a common failing among Americans, and one I am delighted to see you do not share) but that you are a very poor writer.

"An ambulance was a mother’s womb
The gunshot victim, in utero, waited to be birthed"

Surely you can see that is pretentious twaddle? Why not write and condemn a country which allows unrestricted access to guns?
on Jesus in a leisure suit by Imago 29 Oct 2006, 4:43 AM
This shows promise especially the references to the horrible car you drive.

What a pity it is wrecked by these hideous lines...
"to where I wanna be
But my mind is floating off the berm"

Why use a non-word like "wanna"? And what does a raised river bank have to do with it?
on The Perigenetic Prayer by ALChemy 29 Oct 2006, 5:01 PM
More illiterate crud.
on Fraser's Wedding by Stephen Robins 29 Oct 2006, 5:07 PM
Disappointing considering your track record.
