This is good, but still too long. It should go: Gandalf: Frodo, here's a ring. Destroy it for me. Frodo: OK. Taxi! Taxi driver: Where to, guvnor? Frodo: Mordor, please. Taxi driver: Gonna cost ya. Frodo: OK Frodo takes the Taxi to Mordor, throws the ring into the mountain. The end.

Unpleasant as always. Not a good example of the genre.

Very Freudian. We all know what snakes represent. You set up a pleasant scene and then twist and undermine it - very nicely done.

Did you know Knievel is actually his real surname?

Interesting. How literal is the translation between the languages? Is it ever possible to properly translate poetry, because so much lies in the original language? Hmm.

Who the fuck is Peggy Seeger? Is she related to the mighty Pete Seeger? Otherwise, very nice.

They aren't the same variety. That's why they have different names. Jerseys make great cream, but their beef, though tasty, is unsaleable due to the yellowness of the fat.

Is this satire or just stupidity?

This is even worse than Mud's maudlin classic - 'It'll be lonely this Christmas, lonely and cold.'

The first verse reminds me of the band At the Drive-In, whose lyrics are notable for their ragged, stream of nonsence style.
Re: At The Station by Christof	23-Jan-04/6:34 AM
Very evocative. There's always an old man drinking lager. Railways stations are places of excitement, because they lead to travel and all sorts of possibilities, but also they are dark, cold, wet and depressing. Oh, and bugger grammar, it's not important.

When did you last read The Waste Land?
Re: Insomnia by dreamsdiefirst	16-Feb-04/7:08 AM
There's nothing like a good poem about insomnia. And this is nothing like one. Bomm and, indeed, boom, as Basil Brush might say.

Homophobic crap. Super Furry Animals used the beard / sheared rhyme in 'Something for the Weekend' in 1996 '5 6 7 man I'm in heaven / And I'm growing my beard / Until it gets sheared.' Knocks your effort into the proverbial cocked hat.

Why do you feel the need to censor your own use of the word 'fucking'? Are you so ground down by the repressive culture of your country you can't even bear to type it out properly?

This is really pretty bad. Graphic descriptions of intercourse, unless done brilliantly, are invariably unpleasant.

Have you been watching Kill Bill? This is delightfully absurd in the same manner.
Re: Epitaph by philn	7-May-04/6:56 AM
Needs work, but I like it. It is the lot of the middle class to be ashamed of who they are - something not true of the poor or the rich. It is the bourgeois burden.
Re: Sonnet on an Operating Table by Sasha	12-May-04/3:06 AM
This good, I like the attempt to bring in the sounds of the situation. And it makes me think of 'Lady Godiva's Operation' by the Velvet Underground, which is a great song. Here comes the moment of great decision As the doctor is making his first incision.
Re: opening time? by wormsy	12-May-04/3:09 AM
I've always assumed that, in the original, the half rhyme was meant to imply that really Dr. Foster had stepped in a piddle right up to his middle, and it was in fact a sewage related incident.
