Being Called Dave

Member since 2003 · Posted 18 Sep 2003 · 15 comments

There once was a man known as Dave, His parents had christened him Dave, His friends called him Dave, Not David, just Dave, And on forms he would always sign "Dave".

This poem is clever and insightfull on approximately thirteen distinct levels. Until you can understand at least the first seven, I suggest you refrain from commenting on this site.

Excellent.

Without a doubt, ?-Dave_Mysterious-? is very amusing. My confusion arises from the fact that our Dave does not have the air of a newbie. He seems very sure of himself, and acts as though he knows the character traits of the existing users. Either he has been observing quietly from the sidelines for a long time, or he is an existing member with a new username.

Certain similarities with -=Dark_Angel=- but no clear indication that they are one and the same person. Besides which, they have very different obsessions.

I assure you I am not -=Dark_Angel=-, though I have collaborated with him on "A Haiku Haiku". -=Dark_Angel=- is about 4'10" with a peg-leg and a tic. I have none of these predicates and therefore cannot be him.

As for the charatcer traits of other poets, these are easily estimated from the knowledge that they like poetry.
