You must go visit Dr. Skellington. Your zombied flesh is starting to decay; It's making an unpleasant smellington. You've left your foot inside your wellington! We shan't be going to the park to-day; You must go visit Dr. Skellington! His office is in deepest Hellington, Unremarked upon by naughty Dante, Who rang not the reception bellington. The dead see him for aches and swellingtons. With gnawed-off limbs instead of cash they pay; More use for flesh than gold has Skellington. And though he causes screams and yellingtons, You get a lollipop for being brave! Or possibly some caramellington!! When you have said your last farewellingtons, If you have ne'er to kindly Jesu prayed, YOU shall go visit Dr. Skellington... SO DO NOT MOCK HIS NAME'S MISSPELLINGTON.

why call it a villanelle when it's not? you've played that trick once already. it's not as funny the second time around.

but i like the poem.

"IRONSHOE" wasn't anything like a villanelle. "Dr. Skellington" is 81% a villanelle.

you're right, except it's 76.8% vilanelle. which still cuts wood in my hood.

Nice. Very nice. And I said that you were an overweight Physics grad student from Cambridge who sits naked and oiled in his Lazy Boy rocking back and forth all while spitting out Physics theory. Here's a lollipop, for this is quite a lovely piece.

What's lovely is how this is isn't even a vilanelle, nor significant to the human condition on any level other than slightly humorus, but what the fuck it's #1 and i'm sure that counts for something, somewhere, somehow. right pinkbunnyofprune?

Are you saying Humor isn't part of the human condition? I beg to
differ. With out a sense of humor we'd all run around with our head up our ASSES Like you.

P.S. I din't find your "pink bunny of prune" comment very funny shit wipe. I'm not out high school yet but i can still tell a chode like you to go get your boyfriends dick surgically remove from your ass.

This is utter crap. I don't understand how anybody like any of this except maybe if you were looking at this as a joke. I can not see any talent in here at all.

People like you make me sick. Just because I'm disabled you think you can waltz over to my beautiful poeme about a skellington and make fun of it. Well I've got news for you, buster: I will contacting the FBI. Now take your Chinese shoes and get out of here.
