Pelted with stones on the common (Free verse) by Bobjim
Pelted with stones on the common, Because of my new style hair do. A fine affair, I do declare. A riotous and rare do. Pelted with stones by foreign students, Yelling the words of Marx. A kettle of fish. An unsavoury dish. I'd rather be eaten by sharks. Pelted with stones by Jehovah's Witnesses, 'Cos I wouldn't purchase The Watchtower. A bleeding cheek. I bought one last week. And anyway, I'm a Catholic!

These are like some sort of pseudo-limericks. 10

The ending is a bit weak.

I think it's a really good poem. I didn't really like the line 'I'd rather be eaten by sharks.' I don't know, that line just didn't really flow to me. But it was a great poem over all.

It flows perfectly. By the time I'm finished with you, you'll understand what the line means too.

So it should, it was written by someone who writes a lot. Someone called Robert Rankin. Heard of him Bobjim? You should have done, you've nicked loads of his stuff and passed it off as your own. You are a naughty Bobjim, what are you?

I stole all these poems by Mr. Rankin 5 years ago. I'm still surprised by people who think they're the first person to spot my plagiary.

You have stolen this poem from Robert Rankin and attempted to pass it off as your own work.

YOU ARE A FRAUD, A PLAGIARIST, AND A THIEF!

Bobjim, it seems, is a right thieving shyzer - theres quite a few of Rankin poems that have been plagiarised by our lad bobjim! Can't write your own original poems? Have to resort to thieving other peoples? I'm surprised Robert Rankins publishers haven't come down on you like a heard of elephants, bobjim - you might very well be best to own up straight away!

I have owned up every time someone's spotted that one of 'my' poems actually isn't (at least when I notice). I have frequently stolen poems from various sources and claim all poems on my account are my own work only until someone correctly references the original source.

so that, i guess, makes it all right then eh?

i'm not sure of the full legal stance on that, but i'm pretty sure that copyright is pretty tight, and the above excuse, pathetic as it clearly is, doesn't really hold any credence whatsoever.

So when are you taking your ‘original’ The Color of magic / Harry Potter and the Order of The Phoenix / War and Pease to the publishers – after all their yours till someone spots that they’re not. What a pr!ck

You see I hadn't realised, all my life I thought theft was theft. But I was wrong, theft is only theft if I get caught, and then, if I say "yes I know I stole", then that makes it alright.

I wish I'd known sooner, I could be rich by now. As long as I didn't get caught. ;)
