A Shed so Strange*

[Edward Rochester Esq.]

A Shed so Strange*

Give me a home, where illiterate hillbilly's roam
Where squirrels and possums do play
Where seldom is heard, a simple lucid word
from mouths that chew waffle's all day

Where the air is just foul when he sings with a howl
And a wheeze from his brother lasts all night
He would not trade the shed or move a lose bowel
For all those dang cities so bright

How often at night does Zod hold him so tight
under the glare of the glittering stars
he stands there and breys as Zod's mouth does amaze
"Does any glory exceed that of ours?"

Home, home on the range
Where illiterate hillbilly's do play
Where moans are still heard, never a lucid word
As passersby up and run away.

Edward Rochester Esq.

I wouldn't call it glory, but Trump has the same so called "glory" of theirs. I don't see much of a difference between them and him, except that he has money.

[Edward Rochester Esq.]

A poor man's Trump , indeed...

Why not apologies to me, since I've adapted the Orwell quotation dozens
of times?

Why is almost everything you post an imitation of me, even when it isn't
plagiarised from me, Dunce?

Damned you got dibs on that quote? I was working up to that one. Perhaps GD needs to actually understand it? After his flirting with being nasty with the tit for tat, everyone is looking at him that way now...

Why do you spread these lies about me, PJ? You're sounding like an obsessed kook again.

> Damned you got dibs on that quote?

No, he doesn't. Why should he?

> I was working up to that one.

What? You planned to accuse me of copying Orwell's sentence from you as well?

> Perhaps GD needs to actually understand it?

Do you think there's an esoteric meaning? It looks perfectly straightforward to me; and dead-on as commentary to Mr. Senetto's poem.

> After his flirting with being nasty with the tit for tat, everyone is looking at him that way now...

Complaining about people being nasty back at you isn't going to win you much sympathy, either.

Mr. Senetto must be very proud of his new poem. He's got almost the whole gang helping defend it here.

Of course, anybody can use it. But I've noticed many times that Dunce's
screeds are full of words and phrases that he's copied from me. I was
openly his hero in the days when he comared me to Ezra Pound, and I'm
still secretly his hero now - even though I differ from his other heroes
in not admiring Hitler!

There were dozens of absent AAPC regulars who looked at Dunce exactly
the same way that I look at him. All writers loathe plagiarists, and all
decent people loathe far-right extremists. Even some indecent people
found his notorious defence of paedophilia too much to tolerate!

The obsessed kook is the one who obsessively copies his hero.

I don't copy you: you copy me - even to the addition of a middle
initial!

But none of this is important compared with your being discovered yet
again in the act of plagiarising.

Even the Dreckster and the Creepster write their own doggerel. Why can't
you?

Well put, G.D.

[George J. Dance]

Thanks. This looks like a good time to explain what I meant in quoting Orwell.

Back when the gang I called "Cerberus" formed, back in 2017, all 3 heads were posting in the Sunday Sampler. It was easy to tell troll and poet apart those days: one posted imitations of Bukowski, one
of Tennyson, and one song parodies about people on aapc.

However, if you look at Mr. Senetto's latest poetry, such as the OP, it's hard if not impossible to tell aside from the name which head wrote it.

[Will Dockery]

Nailed it.

🙂

[George J. Dance]

Not quite; I think I was unclear about one point. I meant that Mr. Senetto's recent poetry is almost indistinguishable from the Misses NG's early parodies. (Googling "Pickles" should turn up examples.) Over the years, the ladies have been gradually disengaging from trolling and creating a more attractive niche in the group, writing vastly better poems than those early efforts, and promoting group discussions of poetry, etc. Meanwhile the other head has moved in lockstep with Mr. Senetto, as his "Slurp Puppet" poem illustrates. There's been almost a reversal of roles.

[Ash Wurthing]

[Will Dockery]

Yes, I'd rather read imitation Bukowski and second-handing the classics than the endless Mad Magazine imitations.

[Michael Pendragon]

As long as "Shadowville Mythos" posts continue to submerge AAPC in sludge, "Ode to My Slurp-puppet" will remain in play as a counteractive force.

And before you accuse me of trolling, it would do well to keep in mind, that you're the one who introduced the "ethical" strategy of "Tit for Tat" here.

IOW: I'm not following Mr. Senetto's example... I'm following Mr. Dance's.

[George J. Dance]

As I've already told you, right on the "Slurp-Puppet" thread, that's fine with me as long as it stays on its own thread. Like anyone who has a problem with it, I can simply skip the thread in the future.

> And before you accuse me of trolling,

If I called you a troll, it wouldn't be meant as an accusation, but as a simple statement of fact.

> it would do well to keep in mind, that you're the one who introduced the "ethical" strategy of "Tit for Tat" here.

But you do not follow "Tit for Tat". In past attacks on Pickering, on Rachel, on Ilya, and on me (not to mention others who have left here), you were clearly the aggressor. (Again, that's not meant as an accusation, but as a simple statement of fact.)

> IOW: I'm not following Mr. Senetto's example... I'm following Mr. Dance's.

Wrong.

That's a false accusation, George.

I publish a monthly online, and yearly print, collection of AAPC poetry -- both of which you are included in.

A troll, by definition, seeks to disrupt a group -- not to promote group activities.

I don't recall ever having attacked Ilya. I have asked him, many times, to limit his threads to poetry (this is not alt.arts.editorials), and have humorously countered his editorial opinions... but that in no way constitutes an attack. Nor have I attacked Rachel. I have often encouraged her to continue writing poetry and invited her to participate in AYoS (which she has declined to do).


As to Pick -- I had merely questioned one of his bizarre statements only to be called an anti-Semite, Nazi, etc. Pick started that war -- and I finished it (and Pick).

As to my past fights with you, let's just say that my memory of it differs from yours.

> > IOW: I'm not following Mr. Senetto's example... I'm following Mr. Dance's.

Not at all. Tit for Tat is Tit for Tat.

Will disrupts AAPC with his "Shadowville Mythos" blog advertisements (dozens of threads advertising his blog, reverbnation page, instagram, FB, etc.), so I responded by posting my "Shadowville Mythos" group poem at the end of each.

Donkey disrupts group -- group disrupts Donkey.

Tit for Tat.

[Michael Pendragon]

They've been killfiled, Donkey.

If they continue, it is without my knowledge.

[W.Dockery]

That's my poetry, posted in a poetry group.

If you're not interest in the poetry, simply skip and ignore it.

Exactly, you have nailed it G.D.....!

And you can count on me to bump those old poems to the top every day, as instructed. In your own words:

That's the skip and ignore policy, great to see you giving it a try.

[Will Dockery]

Pendragon actually is proud of and brags about his years of trolling, notably on the 1950s music group.

A bit like wrestling or soap operas, the trolls have switched personas.

It wasn't an accusation at all. It was a hypothetical statement.

And, of course Pendragon trolls here incessantly.

I get that and G.D. has the quote of the day here....

Three good capsule reviews, yes.

Indeed so....

[W.Dockery]

None of us expect Pendragon to admit to his trolling, though.
