When I was slanker than today
and knew the cubes of Rubik,
I sought with merry roundelay
the films of Stanley Kubrick.
If I had but a snatter then
of what would comeround soonly,
I'd cash up all my while and when
beneath the skylit moonly.
But I was bumford loud indeed
and never sought the knowing,
I wondered if my plight could tell
just where this poem's going.
It could go dwight and yet repine
within the skrint of reason
It might just end without sassoon
just like Guy Fawkes's treason.
(Written for the nonsense IP last year. Didn't bother posting it. Just found it scribbled on an envelope. I quite like the sound of it so I'll give it a chance. Should it be saved for the nation? Remember, your vote counts!)

It makes a strange kind of sense to me. Should I get help?

Thank you everybody. 'Tis a small thing but mine own, as I say to all the girls. "But where exactly is it?" they ask, bemused. "Oh, it's there alright, you're just not looking hard enough," I riposte. "Well, small is beautiful, so I suppose microscopic must be absolutely gorgeous," they console themselves. "Go on then. Wake me up when you've finished." Suddenly it uncoils. It's three feet long, thick as a pikey, with a barbed tip. They scream and back slowly away... but you don't want to know about my private life.
Ah chuck, I wouldn't normally see anybody without an appointment, but since it's you - how many fingers am I holding up? That many? Sorry, no. I'm not even sure I have that many. Okay, what year do I think it is? Oh deary me, no. I hated that year. No, I'm afraid there's no hope for you at all.

Aaha even your comment is funny, what about '73? This made me think about all the time I've wasted in my life trying to get somewhere, when I should've been happy where I was. Thanks Kdxm
