"Luring members of the Ooolongftangftangbank profile scheme to their deaths since 1837".
Status: Fairly perky.
"Noise, noise, noise is for heroes. Leave the music to zeros." [The Damned]
Invented by the French (Poem No.3)
Computers and airplanes, the First World War trench.
Cars, busses and railroads, hand built by the French.
The value of pi and the humble park bench.
Spaghetti and lamb chops, all made by the French.
Cartoons and pop music, the adjustable wrench,
TV and torpedoes, invented by French.
Real ale and cast iron and the fine, buxom wench,
The phone and the Walkman, brainchilds of the French.
But how, you may ask, can I prove they are French?
Well just take a sniff at their faint garlic stench.
Poem No.2
Scrolling through the bakery,
Reading the ideas,
Taking in the annos,
All the boos and all the cheers.
Some of them are practical
And some of them are witty,
And all of them inspired me
To write this little ditty.
The Ravings of an Eedjit (Poem No.1)
I met a surfer from a half-baked site
Who said: One croissant and a pile of bones
Stand by my idea. And beneath, in harsh annos,
half sunk, my shattered posting lies, whose prose
And spelling poor, and mix of many tense
Tell that its author was not well read.
Which yet survive, writ on the world wide web,
By pedants mocked and newbies shred;
And on my posting these words appear:
We should use nanobots, and GM tech;
Why cant we all just learn to share?
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
of that vast WIBNI, heated and terse,
The flames stretch down the page.
e-mail MrKeithManiac at hotmail etc, etc
My four pence worth:
Don't try too hard! The best ideas are the ones that appear in your head out of nowhere. If you have to take more than a few seconds to think about it then it's probably not that good.
Of course this is no guarantee of quality, but it will save a lot of wasted time.
