    Four Score years and seventeen
    Unreal seem things you know have been
    Close in times now far away
    Keep what once had run astray
    Young you were, in days now past
    Old you are, yet still you last
    Unfit for for life, due for the grave
    But you still you live, though death you crave
    In times gone past, you truly were
    Ten thousand times the man you are
    Chide yourself for what you've done
    Hah! Your life rates dropped to none

    I like it!:D Subtly anarchic! Very nice. That actually must have taken ages to come up with. I doff (Yes it is a word) my hat to you good sir. Might I ask if that was directed at the wonderfully benevolent (your words not mine) Neil?

    Yeah, then you ran away screaming like a little girl

    YOU YELLOW *******!!!!

    P.s. what zounds pointed out, then edited away, is that there is a hidden message in the poem. Read the first letter of each line

    edit: odd, no censorship....*does it himself*

    Actually I was dragged away, kicking and screaming, to France of all places! *shudders* If I never do that again it'll be too soon. And what needed censorship? They don't censor "bastard" if that's what you mean.

    Y'all missed my hilarious and eloquent reply in faux german yesterday, so I shall say:

    CURSING IST NICHT DAS FERSCHUTZENWAFFLE

    The german for gloves is HANDSHOESEN! i dunno how its spelt, bt meh. And the german for nipple means breast wart! I find these things amuse me, what with my underdeveloped sense of Humour.

    Hey, I got 2 stars! I have a poem....

    Waiting
    by me.

    He looks so sad, the little man
    His eyebrows raised, mouth a cold, hard line
    The over-sized headphones
    Do not mask his inner turmoil
    His head, severed from his body
    Is as flat and lifeless as a frisbee

    Suddenly, he lights up
    My worry dissolves
    The tiny angusished man is gone, forgotten
    The screen reads
    '1 message recieved'










    This may not make sense to people who have a better phone then me, ie EVERYONE, but i dont care. you've all got good phones to comfort you.

    Anyway... I think your poem's cool Raphael... 'cept my granny's 97, so it's kinda... weird (if not poignant) The first letter of each line thing is also cool.

    Actually no. That was sincerity. My sarcasm is far less subtle than that. :rolleyes:
