    Big man on stage. Big Man takes microphone. Big Man says a dirty word. Hilarity ensues.

    An ode to the profession:

    There once was a trader from Derry
    Who compulsively partied and made merry
    He longed a million on a lot
    When everyone else was leveraged short
    And cried “Don’t fire me, it was latency on my BlackBerry!

    Plainly it seems that life is cold and grey
    Let light a-shine upon thou I pray
    As you emerge from the cave you see
    The horse* will be pert as will the bee
    Out with the rods, light up the cones* I say

    *will require basic knowledge of philosophy and opthamology

  7. From the discussion Poems in iambic pentameter

    Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:44:22 -0000

    “See you all on Monday” ’s how it starts
    My clown’s face, it pulls me apart
    There’s a seductive knocking on the door
    A velvet glove that wont desist and go
    There’s a knocking on my cellar door

    I bring the candle closer to the page
    I try to read the words crumbling with age
    I chase the words, there’s nothing there ‘ne more
    I turn my senses to the cellar door
    “It’s ghosts and ghouls and sprites and nothing more.”

    Ghosts and ghouls and sprites and mists are friends
    I get the feeling I’m one of them
    I feel the fear and know I can’t prolong
    That what is to come soon along
    The door will stand only so long

    It’s done, the door’s hanging from a hinge
    My clown face lies face down in the bin
    The knocking’s made my knuckles raw and sore
    ‘Twas I who was knocking on the door
    ‘Twas I who had locked me out before

    Spied upon the simple fool Jorge
    And made a deal with the devil today
    “Teach me, if you, to play them drums devil
    Ah’ will forever be your slave I will!”
    Now devil smiled and ate him whole Ho! Hey!

      Yessiree I am still alive today
      And this man will yet see the light of day
      Hal-LE-lu-JAH his salvaged soul will cry
      While you and I know everything will die
      Early or late to waste his soul will lay

      Just so you don’t accuse me of wrong feet-count again, in the first foot of the second line, “and” is spoken quickly and the stress is on “this”. The third line has also been appropriately simplified for understanding the pronunciation.

    There were two men from Madras
    Whose globes were made of brass
    Once in a stormy whether
    They both crashed into each other
    And sparks came out of their arse

    Dude i have to say this with some woe
    My poem may have sucked but your sucked more
    Line two and three were totally out of beat
    You don’t count syllables and don’t count feet

      You gotta practice more I have to say
      Your rhyme is bad your rhythm is all astray
      Acrostics were ok, limericks were fine
      Iambic pentameter will need time

    The girl once wrote acrostic
    And not-so-good was my diagnostic
    “Hmm, She really can’t rhyme
    Most of the time”
    But her limericks were Boombastic!

    There once was a dino from Gurgaon
    Who had the most piculiar row
    At every literary step he objected
    But got pwned when interjected,
    “You can’t count syllables, can you now?”

  17. From the lesson Stewie Griffin's Loves-Hate Behaviour

    Hmm, what can I say. You take analysis far too seriously. Whatever anyone does on family guy is because it’s funny. Why they do it over and over again is because repetition is funny. That’s it, no one really represent anything, and Seth is talking outta’ his hat when he says anything of that sort.

    There was an attempt philosophickal
    To define identity once-and-for-all-ickal
    If !(B!=A)
    Then (B=A) very well may
    The rest as they say is historickal

      Once in galaxy far far away
      A space oddity thought limericks were AAAAA
      So i wrote this li’l verse
      Hoping he could be coerced
      But he kept floating in a most peculiar way

    Oink Oink, the pigs shout
    Ruling us with dogs as kings
    What’s twice the answer
    Emmanuel, to life the universe and everything?
    Love tried, to conquer all and break these chains before
    Love died and left us all, will two plus two make four?
