This is a collection of poems I had to do for a project in my english class. If anyone has read the cantebury tales they might get the jist of this.

First in our group is a fat midget man
And when Peach is captured he has a plan
He does shrooms to compensate for his height
Then he fights Bowser to prove his great might
He can shoot balls of fire from his gloved hands
He has been on journeys through many lands
He works as a plumber to make some cash
He wears overalls and has a moustache
He rides Yoshi across Mushroom Kingdom
Without him everyone else would be glum
His name is Mario don’t wear it out
If you ever need him give him a shout

Peter Griffin is the next in our group
He always seems to be out of the loop
He’s not the brightest crayon in the box
He always gets in fights with giant cocks
He finds an odd kind of joy in his farts
He’ll eat anything to include pop-tarts
His job isn’t that satisfactory
He works a job at the toy factory
He is always wearing his dark green pants
And he can do the M.C. Hammer dance
When you see him he will let loose a toot
This is one real stupid big fat cahoot


(this ones about me)
The next on our journey to Taco Town
Is often called hobbit when people look down
He’s in the drum line for the marching band
And he’s played his drum in many a land
He will do whatever he wants to do
Even when someone tells him not to
When the elections come in 2008
He will not vote Clinton for she, he hates
He is on this journey to Taco town
To find some tacos that won’t make him frown
This dude used to play video games
But now he thinks that they are really lame

Hillary Clinton is the next in our group
And her face looks like a giant pile of poop
This girl will turn our country into commies
And make us cry out loud for our mommies
Hillary Clinton has us all damned
With this horrible awful health care she planned
If and when this woman is elected
By socialism we’ll be infected
She calls our general a liar
But she wouldn’t stand a chance under fire
This is one evil woman through and through
Did we mention that her face looks like poo

This is only a few of the poems in the collection. I will try and find the rest but I doubt that I will.
Anyway just know that some of my views about politics are VERY bluntly stated in there and I don't intend for this to be a debate thread.

So tell me what yall think

Edit: the bolded part is just describing my lack of video game time in that period of life and also I couldn't think of anything else to ryhme lol

[Eugine]

lol, what can I say... The Hillary Clinton part was funny lolz.
And um, lol, "He always gets in fights with giant cocks" o.o

Anyway, about the poem. I don't really like the first two verses, but the last two were alright and amusing (were you trying to be funny in your English class?). The last verse is really golden btw.

The gets in fights with cocks has to do with him fighting the chicken. someone who watches family guy regularly would get it most likely

At first I just wanted to get it done and then I just decided that I should have fun with it. So I decided to make everyone laugh.

[Eugine]

Oh yeah. That's the guy from Family Guy. I don't really watch much TV you see...
And lol, what was the class reaction to poem, specifically the last verse? o.o

[Gio]

for the most part people laughed, but there were people in the class that got extremely offended and they don't like me now. I just laughed at them, because I really didn't care what they called me. lol.

[Someone Else]

What'd they call you, an ignorant, right-wing, nationalist *******? =P

[Eugine]

lol, thought as much. So, the poem changes from a game character, to a sitcom character, to the writer then to a politician... o.o

[Gio]

I don't really remember I was to busy laughing at them being mad.

Edit: Yep There is also another one about Jason bourne that I have yet to post. Maybe I will do that tomorrow. for now though I gots to go to bed. I have exams in the morning.

[Eugine]

lol, you placed that disclaimer there cuz you knew it would come up eventually.

[Someone Else]

The way these forums are going it would happen eventually.

Your "poems" are amusing by the way. =P

[Gio]

yep yep.

Btw I am going to repeat what my edit said earlier.

I am going to bed I got two exams in the morning. I will post another poem tomorrow if someone reminds via PM

[Ironsight]

Heh, these sound alot like mine. The same forced rymmes and all, Except you had the attention span to finnish them.

[Yuki]

I would get mad & correct you, but you'll probably just laugh at me too.

>:[

[Fury]

Those are pretty good. I really liked the Mario one. You must post more of them.

[Laharl]

Poems dont need to rhyme, forced ryhmes can ruin a poem :/

[Gio]

It was the assignment I had to.

[Lightning Star]

I really like the flow of this; isn't it funny that when you get into doing an assignment, you end up doing it better?

And the last stanza is golden. I liked this part:

Quote

This girl will turn our country into commies
And make us cry out loud for our mommies

and this part

Quote

She calls our general a liar
But she wouldn’t stand a chance under fire

The one about family guy was a little trite, but for poetry, it was pretty good. May I ask the grade you received on this?

[Gio]

I would have to say probably at least an A or a B. I don't remember to well seeing as it was done in the 1st semester.

The assignment was based of the cantebury tales. we had to use preferably somewhere around ten syllables a line, and pairs of lines had to rhyme.

Chaucer would be turning in his grave proud

[Gio]

Your kind words move me. <_<

We were doing the Miller's Tale last year. I'd say his subject matter is slightly different to what's on offer here. Still I think it's ok, not Shakespeare-esque but I'd have been surprised if it was.
My advice would be to keep on with it. After all, creativity should be encouraged.
