Rhyme...and Treason (the TRIUMPHANT return!)


Also, special Labor Day edition!


You know the rules, but since it's been awhile, let me refresh: I'm posting up some sort of lyric or poem or what not. I leave a blank space. You fill that in by via the comment section. Then, on Friday, I play judge and tell everyone who is the best.

Let us work today with an excerpt from Walt Whitman (I...HATE...YOU...WALT....FREAKIN'...WHITMAN! LEAVES OF GRASS MY ASS! - thanks Homer) and his magnum opus "Song of Myself."

Blacksmiths with grimed and hairy chests environ the anvil,
Each has his main-sledge, they are all out, there is great heat in the fire.
From the conder-strew'd threshold I follow their movements,
The lithe sheer of their waists plays even with their massive arms,
Overhand the hammers swing, overhand so slow, overhand so sure,
They do not hasten, ...

  8. ...and nor do I. Do I irritate them? Very well then I irritate them.

  10. G'day Bart-Man,

    As you probably know, I look upon you in the manner of an older brother watching out for a younger sibling, so please don't take this advice amiss.

    You mentioned that you occasionally have writer's block. So? So get out that camera of yours - and post some pictures on this blog.

    I'd hate to see a writer with as much talent as you, losing readers simply because you haven't been updating your site. OK, so it's hard to write posts sometimes - but use your camera to fill the gaps.

    Just post a picture with a caption - and you'll be fine.

    Lemme know what you think

    Keep smiling
    David

  11. Oh, that's right. (What David said) Where you been keeping that camera? Those stump shots in your yard were quite interesting.

Feel free to comment. So that I may respond and possibly mock and ridicule you. Just kidding. Maybe. We'll see what you say first, how about that.
