The Great Ankh Poetry Recital

OK, time for something new. We've been doing karaoke but now we're going to switch it up and do a poetry recital.

I know, I know, I hear the groans out there... some of y'all wish I'd leave the guild, or at least sit quietly in the corner, anything that will stop me from coming up with these crazy ideas. Too bad, Strixy said I can't leave the guild unless I take all the bacon with me - do y'all really want that?

Anyway, now for the details:

Date: Saturday, May 24, 2014

Time: 11 pm EDT (8pm Server Time)

Where: On the Ankh Ventrilo server in the karaoke room.

What: Any poem(s) you wish to share with us. Now, take the "any" with a grain of salt... let's keep it clean so not as to offend anyone.

It does NOT have to be a poem you wrote yourself, you're free to read a favorite poem by another author. Want to read "The Raven" by EA Poe? Go for it! How about "Trees" by Joyce Kilmer? Hex yeah! Read it to us! "An Ode To Lisa" by Myron? oh, wait... that's a private one, y'all don't get to hear that one... never mind....

Now if you ARE a poet and would like to share some of the poems YOU have written, PLEASE do so! This guild has some amazingly talented artists, musicians, etc., in it and I'll bet we have some great poets too. So come share your writings with us!

Yes Fell, you can even play the bongos while you read your poem if you wish. (Wonders how many will get that reference.)

So for those of you who have been uncomfortable with the idea of singing for us, here's your chance to do something where you don't have to sing. So start writing or finding poems and let's all get together and have some fun!

And yes Strix, I expect to hear you read a nice love poem to Will...

I think you may have left out an important rule for this....
absolutely no way, none, nada, nyet, any chance at all of any type of Vogon poetry

No vogon poetry... well you are no fun lisa...

What a wonderful idea!!! This will be lots of fun.

Lisa, sometimes I want to find out where you live--go there and hug you for your awesome references. If there is Vogan poetry, I will just take my babelfish out of my ear.

Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturitions are to me,
As plurdled gabbleblotchits,
On a lurgid bee,
That mordiously hath blurted out,
Its earted jurtles,
Into a rancid festering confectious organ squealer. [drowned out by moaning and screaming]
Now the jurpling slayjid agrocrustles,
Are slurping hagrilly up the axlegrurts,
And living glupules frart and slipulate,
Like jowling meated liverslime,
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turling dromes,
And hooptiously drangle me,
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or else I shall rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't.
