AC, I always enjoy reading your pooetry! Thanks, Dave, for offering up this brown read of the day!

_______
Rock-n-roll! Poopy-poo!

Another easy masterpeice by the coward. Bravo.

I had toyed with poop poetry until I started reading yours. Now I know my efforts would be pathetic.

Anomalous waxes,
Comments wane
News at 11.

Bunga, it's just that we're stunned into silence by the brilliance that is The Anomalous Coward.

Bravisimo, Lousy!

Would that pooetry could reduce
The Shameful's angst when they produce;
But ne'er a word can we proclaim,
To free them from their world of Shame.
In single combat, THEY must find
A way to unleash their behind...
To dump with joy, with no regret
To stride with pride into the can.
And to greet all - "hail fellow, well met"
Enjoy cool seats...the soothing fan.
And when they're done, the sweet relief...
The freedom of Shameless belief.

My first excursion into pooetry, folks...how'd I doo?

WTF? Dude, I say this with all possible love:

More More More MEDICATION, Frank. (*wink, grin*)

WTF indeed, G3.

Oh, P.S. Fudgie-- loved the poem!

Thanks, G3.
This thread's been up for what, 3 days now? I was afraid I posted this too late for much literary review: I wasn't sure about "return traffic", if you catch my drift.

Loved them both!! Brilliant! We have rare talent in our midst - and particularly if that is your virginal effort Fudge - well done!!

GGG - Frank is referring to a typo by MSS 'starnge' - which I thought sounded like a drab colour of paint.

Fudgepump, it means your poem is great! And we want more of them. GGG, I love you, now I want you to go and listen to "that song". (more more more)

Yeah, Hammy - I popped my cherry on this one. Thanks a lot, my friend.

G3 defined "starnge" PERFECTLY in another thread - the skin color of Hollywood D-listers when they come out of the tanning salon. Beautiful, G3 - I can't improve on that.

Fudgepumpy, that was MSS who defined "the starnge people" from the tanning salon. Well, don't worry anyone, I'm back on my medication this morning.

Sorry, folks. You're right Frank - it was Miss Simone in "When Two Become One". My bad. Outstanding definition, Miss Scat.

(*ears burning*)

Umm, well, this pooetry of Fudgepump's reminded me of 'Pyramus and Thisbe,' from 'A Midsummer Night's Dream.' No, not the plot of that play within a play. It just has the ambience of interludes from that piece of writing.

In other words, methinks I was of it very fond.

Pulling My Pants Down For Peace, Plop and Posterity!

I love it when you can work the word "methinks" into a post! Air of culture, you know...

Well, thanks (I guess), Wiper. I didn't expect my brilliance to be lumped in with some 2nd rate hack like Shakespeare (I'm vaguely familiar with some of his work) but...I asked for it - I got it. (hahaha)

AC, You clever silverpenned pooper.
Fudgey, Thanks for the praise!!! Once in a green moon I throw out a bon mot.
Producing waste since 1967

I've acted in three of Shakespeare's plays - no relevance to poop, but some fantastic lines!!!

Truly a MASTER of the English language. His usage and structure are SO fine...
We have an actor in our midst, eh Hamster? Interesting, my friend.

Fudge - modesty demands that I admit I've had to have some of the lines explained to me - but he wrote some stirring stuff, and some dross. In acting parlance, I'm 'resting' - a long rest too!! I haven't been active for 30 years! First family, then the job. But I'll go back to it one day.

Hammy, YOU did some acting work? I am shocked you did not tell before. Kudos to you.
Producing waste since 1967

As far as comprehending some of old Will's stuff: every high school kid can relate to THAT. That's half the fun in truly reading or (I would imagine) performing Shakespeare: his genius with the language is timeless, and if you love words and writing as I do, Will is THE man.
"Synergy" is a word that I think applies here - Shaky had the same lexicon available to him that everyone else had, but in HIS hands, the product is FAR greater than the sum of its parts.

Fudge - I do like the rather affectionate way you refer to the Bard as 'old Will' and 'Shaky'!!! You just don't get that over here!!!

Incidentally, Bill Bryson's book, 'Shakepeare', due to be published next month, examines, and largely rubbishes, the current populist theories that his plays were actually written by others. Good!!

Come now Hamster, surely you realize that Shakespeare was really just a front man for Sir Francis Bacon?

AD - realise we are getting away from the original topic here, but!! Bryson examines the claims by Delia Bacon that her alleged ancestor was in fact the true author , a theory which gained significant
support at the time, but finds no evidence to support that. Indeed Sir Francis, who in any case had a very full life, was a declared opponent of the theatre. But it makes a good story!!

Hammy: I'm glad that the affection came through, rather than sounding like disrespectfully false "familiarity". Utmost respect CAN be couched in terms other than hushed reverence, IMHO.
In a slight divergence here, I often try to picture "a day in the life" of Jesus. Did his apostles ever greet him with a high five, like "Yo, JC my man...what's shakin? Makin' any wine today, dude??"
Does this comment reserve me a spot in one of the Rings of Hell?

Fudge - excellent point!! It is often the case that we show respect by that affectionate familiarity. Some may indeed think it disrespectful, but really it is quite the opposite.

Personally, I'd think the answer to your two last questions are 'no' to both!!
