National Poetry Day

[Sue Sanders]

I did that with the one I've written on the Spoilers thread!

I wouldn't mind having a look. Any chance of a link?

Alec! The poem I posted you've already read;
You posted a comment
Were you dropped on the head
as a baby or something
that loosened your brain?
Now, run along quickly,
I won't tell you again.

[Julie T]

I recently found the Apterous site
Where people play Countdown for pleasure
Some are competitive, playing all night
Others just play at their leisure

The robots are useful if you're a bit shy
Or just want to practise the game
With confidence high, you'll then want to try
Against a real fellow or dame

You might be amazing, you might be alright
And that's what the rating will measure
You might think it's brill, or you might think it's shite
But I'll always think it's a treasure.

With wonderful people to chat to and meet
I've never heard anyone diss it
So if letters and numbers are right up your street
You'd be a right charlie to miss it!

Great poem and sentiment, Alec!

[Derek Hazell]

Yes, it would, if you considered my celebration of Apterous analogous to genocide.

It was a joke Alec. In poor taste, yes, but then a lot of them are.

[another poem]

Never mind the Duff - seems we have our own poet laureate right here!

So, in her honour:

Sue Sanders.
All the "S"s.
Sexual Sauciness
in Stockings and Suspenders?
But not the Schutzstaffel.
Though hail! SS Nude Arse.
That's her anagram.
Anagrams. We Stand for them.
Silly, Sensible.
Sassy sentience
In Solid Sentences.
Single Sayings
or Soppy Sentiment.
They're why we're all here.
Anagrams on the show.
Actively making words grow.
But it's Countdown.
Not Sountdown.
No "S"s there.
But it will suffice.
Our Sue
She will survive.

I dunno, you might be onto something. What if we're all being subliminally trained into becoming killers of some set of people Charlie finds distasteful?

Man, there could be a film in this.

[Alec Rivers]

...[a poem]...

Nice one.

Great poem and sentiment, Alec!

Cheers.

It's okay, mate, I know. My response was meant to be humorous, too (otherwise it would've had an angry face at the end).

The wish is father of the thought, my friend.

Swam onto Ricki Lake
Drank in the Estuary English of Jenny Seagrove
But then was cheered by the music of Billy Ocean

I think we're getting a bit BOGged down in this

[Sue Sanders]

Oi, Bosley. Mate,
I hope that you appreciate
What's been going on in the Spoiler Threading
Because it really is doing my bloomin' head in!

[D Eadie]

Hey Sue, its true, you're no spring chicken.
2 legs, 2 breasts, all finger lickin'
Hot wings of bingo, and eyes of Panda's
You're more than nuts, you're a kernel, Sanders.
