Monkey Shines

[Karen Tellefsen]

Monkey Shines

Round this newsgroup's sorry remains
the monkey mocked the donkey.
The monkey though himself quite the wag,
and donkey a fine target.

A penny for a silly verse,
A nickel for an insult.
That's how Usenet went downhill.
Don't troll the donkey.

[Will Dockery]

Good morning, Karen, Eeyore actually was one of my favorite Pooh characters.

Speaking of Pooh, I was such a fan around 1966, my mother baked me an orange Winnie the Pooh themed cake for my birthday, wonderful memories, thanks for stirring them.

[Edward Rochester Esq.]

That's what you got from ktell's post?

[Will Dockery]

Pretty much everything.

[Edward Rochester Esq.]

case closed.

[Will Dockery]

For once we agree.

[Edward Rochester Esq.]

No, you don't even know what I'm saying or what ktell was saying.

Something they told you at your AA meetings, Senetto?

Wheezy Weasels

[Will Dockery]

Yes, I do.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

What part of “DON’T TROLL THE DONKEY.” do you not understand?!?

[Will Dockery]

Exactly.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

Apparently, the assertion of, “Don’t troll the donkey.” is a donkey troll unto itself.

[Will Dockery]

Depending on how you define "troll".

[hierony...@gmail.com]

It’s the donkey’s definition that matters. It’s all about the donkey.

[Will Dockery]

Not really.

I liked it, as well.

The two characters seem familiar.

Animal crackers.

[Will Dockery]

Look at the characters in the poem.

Recognize either of them?

This would make a great poem...

[Karen Tellefsen]

I agree with Zod, this would make a nice tribute to your mother.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

Karen’s poem is set to the rhythm of Pop
goes the weasel. What are you talking about?

[Michael Pendragon]

Maw baked a cake when I was ate,
She told me it was "Pooh."
And even though I licked the plate
I knowed that it was true.

[NancyGene]

Ha, ha, brilliant poem.

[ME]

Indeed......

[Michael Pendragon]

Thanks, NancyGene and ME.

I'm calling it "Pooh Cake Montage."

well then, seeing a monkey calling monkey, flinging poetry about monkeys and donkey...
so when in the zoo, do what the monkeys do, since we cannot troll the donkey, well then it will be the bold monkey- what better past time is there to do? better than settling for a donkey show, although it's still a shit throwing show

Thanks. BTW, if you are interested, we have an opening in the House of Wenches--paid by the word. Scheherazade steered it into a long-term gig.

Maybe, but I'm not sure I can keep up with you. I can be funny, but you are the grand doyen.

Thanks, but we would have individual clients--we could do it "you split, I choose."

With my bad eyesight, it looked like you had written "bunnies" at first.

I think you're right, and I'm thinking about making it my next sonnet attempt.

[Michael Pendragon]

HELPFUL HINT #1: A sonnet has 14 (not 7) lines.

HELPFUL HINT #2: That's all the fingers on both of your hands, and all of the little piggies on one of your feet (except for the one who cried "Wee-wee-wee" all the way home).

No shit, Sherlock.

[Michael Pendragon]

Um... it couldn't have been obvious to you, Donkey... or have you forgotten that you thought Karen's 7 line poem was a sonnet?

[Will Dockery]

She called it a sonnet so I took her word.

I'll bump my two successful sonnets up if you want to do a serious critique, you shit slinging monkey.

🙂

[Michael Pendragon]

She called it a "Halfwit's Sonnet," you halfwit.

I saw a monkey masturbating at the zoo during a class trip. I wanted to reach in and help the poor little guy.

Forgery ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[hierony...@gmail.com]

It’s a dummy sonnet, as opposed to a Demi-sonnet, which is similar, but different.

[Will Dockery]

In your opinion.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

Huh? So, do you think Karen’s dummy sonnet is actually a demi-sonnet in disguise?

[Karen Tellefsen]

Corey was making a a dumb poet joke, mostly for me and George.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

Correction: I made a dumb joke about a couple of poems
for your entertainment. You and George are no dummies.

[Will Dockery]

I haven't thought about it that closely yet.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

Really? I’m pretty much done thinking about it myself.
I’ll probably mark the thread as spam pretty soon, just
so I won’t have to see it anymore, and move on to new
threads, thoughts and whatever may follow after that.

[Will Dockery]

Your choice.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

Exactly!! My time, my feed,
my choice of what I read.
No offense to anyone here.
I just want to make that clear.

[Will Dockery]

Fair enough.

[hierony...@gmail.com]

Fair shares.

[Will Dockery]

Okay.
