Hello Barbelith,
How is your night?,
I hope that you didn't,
get in a fight

I'm sitting at work
So, best I don't shirk
Or my boss will, berserk,
Fire me with a smirk.

Your boss should chill out,
at least he's employed,
unlike many kids,
who'd like to avoid
Von Mises work ethic
and Capitalist manifesto,
and lotsa magicians like to say Presto

though in 'straylia it's day
when my toil is through
all i'll have to say

and so off for a pint
sitting under a tree
with a ....

Popped in to say hey
before I hit the hay
I just rhymed hey with hay
but I don't have much else to say.

Well it's morning now and I'm sitting at my desk
My head it a-hurts which is quite a pest
Can't wait to go home, watch Lost, eat tea
But I better go now lest my work swallow me

so now i'm home
and it's dark outside
bed soon, with a tome
then with sleep i'll collide

i went after work
to the pub for a pint
and still i'm a berk
'cause i can't think what to rhyme that with, fark'it...

I was minding my business,
walking along.
when I just happened
to stumble upon
some words that simply
would not leave me

Hungover, I tried
to memorize
and words became a song
I sat down,
to write them down,
this is the result:


"One does not mill the cocking bird
the bird that cocking mills"

"One need not spend a dollar's worth
on two-bit lousy thrills"

"One does not quench the everthirst
the thirst that never quenches"

"One need not dig a ton of dirt
or cry in lonely trenches"

Good eve, hello,
the board is mellow.

I ponder now, oh, I wonder,
is talk to be had, or plunder?
 
 
The Ghost of Tom Winter
05:12 / 20.04.07
I'm writing a paper.
I can't find my stapler.
I'll sleep as soon as I'm done.
But tomorrow won't be fun.

How is everyone?
Now that there is no sun.
Lovely night?
I hope you didn't get
Into a fight.
That'd be shit.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:21 / 20.04.07
I worked til nine
went home under moonshine
with Venus overhead.

I'm thinking of bed,
and book-reading too,
but now I have a cup of sake -- woo!
 
 
The Ghost of Tom Winter
05:32 / 20.04.07
What book are you reading?
Damn this, forum is leading
me away from my writing.
I should invest in new lighting.

I should also practice my poetry
these rhymes are the crappetry.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
05:35 / 20.04.07
Same with me:
I should work on
poetry,

and the story will not
write itself out. (slant rhyme, yeah)

Cat's Cradle! I'm reading!
For my brain needs feeding,
and my writing needs seeding,
and I don't know where this is leading.
 
 
The Ghost of Tom Winter
05:56 / 20.04.07
Cat's Cradle is great.
Boy it's getting late.

Have fun with your read,
for I surely do need,
to stop wasting time
I'll end this rhyme.

But speaking of Mr. Kurt
I found something that made me Hurt.
But I'll post it elsewhere
Becasue FOX News just doesn't care.

My last day this semester, has come and it's here
Most of the folks are celebrating with beer
And hey, what the hell? Why not drink in a school??
It's not like they can really enforce such a rule.
So today is a day of momentous celebration.
And soon to follow this will be complete inebriation.

Im at my computer and the shift couldnt be muter,
so I decided to post, but my rhyme skills are lacking
roses are red and violets are bluish
you think this gets better? well..um..youwish.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
00:52 / 21.04.07
Work will not end.
My soul can't contend.
Gone 'round the bend,
Heaven forfend!
 
 
Saint Keggers
00:56 / 21.04.07
You're correcting papers?

(can't I just post regular and put in a request for the mods to edit it into rhyme?)
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:04 / 21.04.07
Work is dull
wears at my s(o)ul,
the library isn't full,
I long for a bull
to bring apocalypse cull.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:10 / 21.04.07
A bull in the library? Surely you jest!
A bull in a china shop? Let loose the unrest!
All the crashing and smashing, as dishes get flung to the floor.
A bull in a library? Give me something more!
In a china shop the damage done is infinitesimal
In a library? Merely ruin the dewey decimal
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:15 / 21.04.07
A bull in the library
may be found
in the 500s or there around,
bestiaries in among the science vary
but that's the number 'bout which they tarry.
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:21 / 21.04.07
That made me laugh
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
01:24 / 21.04.07
Slow, slow
the engines grind away
with time to look and sway
while clockworks flow.

I wish I could think of a rhyme
If only I had more wine
And perhaps a little more time
But every thing's just fine!

How's you?
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:59 / 21.04.07
You rhymes are just fine
much better than mine
Im drining coffee, not wine
and it's a green apple upon which I dine.

I hijack this thread with a morning invasion.
I've risen too early. I do, on occasion.
I've nothing of any great import to say.
So I s'pose I shall finish with "Have a nice day".
 
 
The Ghost of Tom Winter
07:38 / 21.04.07
Final papers suck.
I always get stuck
doing too much research.
At least I have a fleece shirt.

How’s everyone’s morning?
I hope it’s not boring.
What do you prefer more:
Coffee or tea?
I prefer coffee from the store
but too much will make me pee.
 
 
Dutch
09:22 / 21.04.07
I'll take you up on the lovely day
and in return might I just say
"May your hangovers be not too bad
and may you remember a lovely dream you had"

Coffee, please

the morning in canberra
is really quite grand
autumn's a-colouring
in awe do i stand

i'd realy like coffee

to get me in gear

Lateshift runs slower
When required to rhyme -
To come up with a post
Just takes too damn much time.

Hey there,
Turnabout is fair
I just bit my lip
That's a bit shit

Anyway, how are you all today?
I'm great, I'll say
Rhyming?
I'll play!

Admiring, Suedey's artwork
Makes me feel a bit of a berk
Talent supreme
He's the creme of the cream

coffee again
to start my mon-ny day
joined by a cigarette
rolling under way

shivvering from sleep
I'm wondering what I dreamt.
 
 
The Ghost of Tom Winter
07:48 / 23.04.07
The thought of sleep
makes me weep
for I cannot.
for I must dot
all my Is and Ts
under the influence
of Mr. Coffee
(cigarettes too
this paper is due
in five hours time)
I cannot spare
another dime
writing these rhymes
or I will tear
all my hair OUT.
 
 
Dutch
16:04 / 23.04.07
Please do not tear your hair
for it would not be fair
to all the little follicles in your scalp
whose only wish's to grow there.

I just broke up with my SO
And I feel dead inside
And I'm drifting in a foreign place
And have nowhere to hide
I'm too exhausted now to cry
And too nauseous to sleep
My emo-meter's way too high
meep.
