I think your caps should be in the middle of line three, giving it somewhat of an arc. Like a small girl grossed out and sqealing. funny funny funny.

Ideally there would be about 10 different cases so I could represent the slow, descending tone of the final "egg". Like if you were shouting "noooooooooooooooo..." as you dived out into the road in slow motion to save your disabled son from being run over by a lorry.

I spent approximately 32 hours on this poem. With no breaks. Except to go to the toilet, obviously.

Dave,

You are a funny man but you would have been better off holding it in.

A true poet would never say that. You're just jealous because I've managed to put more power into these three lines than you have in your entire poetry writing career.

Dave,

Career? What fucking career? Poetry is not my career. And I certainly have not developed a level of skill that would warrant anyone referring to me as a "Poet". It's a hobby i just started. I'm not competing with you or anyone else on this site. You on the other had are living in a fantacy world...a world in which you play the role of a gifted "Artiest", a true "Poet" . I'm pissing in my pants as we speak. Think you're a smart ass running around crowning people on this site with "0's". Davey oh Davey what a true knucklehead you are. But I love ya anyway!

What!? Have you actually read the poeme you are commenting on? How on Earth can you possibly think ?-Dave_Mysterious-? takes himself seriously as a poete when his ludicrous portfolio boasts a 3 lined 'sonnet' about eggs and an ode to a fat-cheeked acquaintance called 'Burgers'? Have you totally lost it, man?

great clarity, you are obviously a man who has no trouble grappling with your immense intellect.

Since there had been some dispute over the merit of this poem, I would like to explain why I wrote it:

a)Eggs provide a tasty, nutritious and versatile snack. They can be prepared in a great variety of different ways, e.g. boiled, poached, fried, scrambled, barbequed, fermented, etc.
b)The standard chicken egg is ejected from the chicken's only orifice (not including beak).
c)Aside from chicken eggs, several other types of egg are delightfully entertaining, e.g. quail eggs, dinosaur eggs, etc.
d)Sick, slime-oozing eggs are also laid by aliens, possibly some kinds of mutants, and to a lesser extent, insects.
e)There are many amusing egg-based puns which can be made, especially during the run-up to Easter.
f)Eggs are just obviously excellent.
g)Egg.
h)The theme tune from Monkey Magic contains the line "They were born from an egg on a mountain top".
i)The egg is a much more efficient method of spawning oneself than giving birth to live young.
j)If you don't like eggs, then you are gay.
k)How could you possibly not think a poem about an egg was great?
l)The sound "Egg" is also present in a number of respectable names such as Egbert and Eggnlebert Humpledink.
m)They make admirable projectiles.
n)Q.E.D.

In 1992 the acclaimed director Nicholas Novi presented Placido Domingo with his handmade egg, decorated with a portrait of Peter The Great.

Do you think I am not aware of that?

Has it occured to you both that you are both sad, sad little pre-pubesent fuckwits? No, probably not, or you'd shut up.
[n/a] Bobjim › Bobjim 30-Nov-03/3:43 PM Reply
By the way, that was a hint. Take it.

Congratulations, Sir! You have me in checkmate I fear: If I do not reply, you win the argument by default, yet if I do, I prove your claim that I am a "pre-adolescent fuckwit" by appearing so childish as worry over the afore said insult.

However, I have one last pawne up my sleeve:

Have you stopped being gay yet?

The poem you wrote so doesn't make any sense? What kind of poet are you?

some kind of artist I hear.

If you seriously spent 32 hours on this then you my friend are a moron. I see no literary genius here other then the use of the word Egg repetitively. It is however hilarious so thank you for giving me the laugh i needed

True to the title

I think it becomes a little redundant, oblong as it were toward the end. I like the first stanza. But from there is seems to drag a little. the ending is powerful but it feels a trifle long.

i would take an e or 2 out of the final line, and perhaps add a bit more repetition to the middle.

well normally i would say that this is just a waste of freakin space but.... however i think it is funny in a stupid kind of way! see yall have to try and pretend you are or are as close as a normal persons mind can get to ole daveys here to understand this POEM if thats what you want to call it. my conclusion: there is no fuckin meaning you idiots that keep saying the poem is awful and the poet is a fuckwit.... hes delibertly being a "fuckwit" to get either a) a rise out of people or b) a laugh out of people..... I chose to laugh my ass off but not at the poem, at the jerks who take this poem seriously and critisize it... HELLO YOU MORONS, THERES NOTHING TO CRITISIZE! AND DAVEY IM GIVING YOU A 10 JUST CUS IM IN A GOOD FUCKIN MOOD TODAY LMAO!

Just a note: try saying Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggggggggg

you'll find it's not different from say

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeegggggggggggggggggggggggg or

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeggggggg. that's because, as all choral teachers preach, you can't hold out a consonant without putting an extra vowel on the end. just a thought
