Saw Forum Mom and Jade's quick exchange in the Shoutbox about Funky poetry and was struck by inspiration (don't worry, charges for battery are pending with the local constabulary.) Have always loved poetry, so hopefully it'll catch on with the rest of this awesomely creative little group.
For my first dive in, I present:
Ballad of Mediocre Jeff
Pray, listen friends this tale of woe, Though youβll wish that you were deaf, when you hear what happened, apropos to Mediocre Jeff.
Our zenith of the Common man, Lord of all things in-between, has met the end of his lifeβs span outside of the mean!
Cruelest fate! Oh, such a mess; βtwill leave you ill at ease! as specific to the weirdness, he was filled with angry bees!
So extravagant an end to so mundane of a life: this injustice hearts will rend, and fill us all with strife!
So, join with me this righteous fight to remember as we should the deputy who was just alright Before he perished in the wood
With ambivalence shall we moan, and with dispassion shall we pray, and upon his final resting stone: βHere lies Jeff, he was just okay.β

Just logged in and saw the reactions... Ack... the spotlight, it burns!
Seriously, though - thank you for the kind words on something that was just thrown together in the hour or so that I was tinkering around the shack. I'm sure I turned about 80 shades of red upon seeing that Austin tweeted it out.
Hopefully I'm not the only one here that waxes poetic on occasion (shiny, water-resistant poetics are the best kind for around Lorielei) - I'd love to see some others' funky verses, especially after having lurked long enough to see what this fandom is capable of! Maybe we can even bust out some bongos and berets for some readings
My draft of the Ballad of Mediocre Jeff was two lines followed by a giant brain fart, so I wouldn't expect any poetry out of me XD (might try a dirty lymric at some point though, for laughs).
Glad we have better poets in the community

Ooh... Limericks:
There once was a young maid of Stoneroot who gave all frisky suitors the boot. If they tried to get kissed, Theyβd be quickly dismissed 'til Gorfinax made choosiness moot.
There once was a young cleric named Anne Whoβd the intellect of a tin can Her affinity for fire Made situations quite dire And never go according to plan
I'd love it if Vinny manages to sing this - any idea what tune it would fit to?
No idea - I didn't have a specific tune in mind so much as it just fell into the meter that it has. Shouldn't be too hard to sing acapella, though (well, for those who are so inclined)
There once was a ripped monk named Drop Whose abs made the fans's hearts stop, Til an elf named Alias And his 20 inch penis Took fan wetness over the top.
Goddess, what's wrong with me?

It does fit to the theme of "Gilligan's Island" (not that I'm old enough to have seen that, though I know the tune) I was just trying to think of a more modern tune it might fit to. Alas, it seems past the point when Vinny might sing it now...
