| The Dead Poets Society Reunion
This scribbler’s band, you understand meet yearly on Christmas Eve A gathering of poets and would you know it, more talent it’s hard to perceive At that den of sin a notorious inn called The Place of the Rabid Goat Bards galore, over twenty or more, and others of fame and of note Happy and warm, sheltered from the storm where outside was a’raging A joyful thong for the beer was strong and the girls were quite engaging
Chairman Keats staggered to his feet to quieten the crowd with his gavel “Order Please, all you gents and ladies; SHUT UP you unruly rabble” Downing a gin, cried “Let the evening begin, Mr Kipling take the stand if you please’ Stoned out of his mind it was rather unkind to be hoisted onto his knees Grey haired old Kips took a couple of sips “Right” he said with a lecherous grin ”Yesterday on the bed where Mandy lay, I was a better man than you Gunga Din’
‘Now I don’t know his name or how hell he came all the way from Mississippi But now he’s here, give a big cheer, hurry up mate and make it slippy’ ‘I’ll tell you a tale where men are all men and the women are quite hairy too On the wide open plains where seldom it rains, its deficient of diners, and loo’s McGraw’s the name and it’s held with acclaim in the Land where the buffalo roam There ain’t no canteens, all I eat is baked beans that’s why I can never go home
Good things must end and it’s a touch cruel to send the company out in the snow But Burns and Shelley were feeling quite merry and so were Will Shaky and Poe Lord Byron felt fruity and considered it his duty to escort Sylvie Path cross the floor Discovered next day to the landlords dismay was a very rude verse on the door So if on that night you’ve, a poem to recite, go down to the Goat and persist Amongst all your peers there are no worries or fears cos there all very permanently--
I’ll let you finish the poem

| Truly this is quite a satire if i must say so. I love how you managed to incoporate the West with English poets, and the rough and tough cowboy style in it. At least that is how I read it. Your imagination knows no limits my friend. I am not English but I do get from this quite an English influence and flare. Much enjoyed. tc |

| This is brilliant, Cari! The scenario and characters (even those briefly mentioned) are worthy for the DPS. Was Gunga Din also there? He was very lively, chatting up Sue at the Forry pub on Friday. Great work! Exalt, H x | |

Had We But Worlds Enough, And Time . . . | November 5th 2013, 11:57 am by Jamie | I never wanted to write this post. Life, however, brings to us changes of necessity, not changes we want.
Unfortunately, and as evidenced by the past few months' activities, I do not have the time to properly govern the use of this site anymore. While there are visitors every day, the posts by members are becoming fewer and farther between, and the staff participation is just as sparse.
