29/7/99 17:32

And I thought there was a silent conspiracy to leave markie on his own on this site, that's why I had'nt jumped in to help him out.

29/7/99 17:29
Alvin

Hello, so your not gonna play pool with us then Markie?

29/7/99 17:28
Satch

I'm reading it Markie - it sucks.

29/7/99 17:26
Markie

thought so

29/7/99 17:22
Markie

is anyone reading this or am I talking to myself?

29/7/99 17:21
Markie

Some people have met
but thats not for me
this site is about
anonymity

29/7/99 17:19
Markie

Theres Alvin and Satch
Bobbins, gooner and me
and who could ignore
the ramblings of tree?

29/7/99 17:14
Markie

my office is empty
It is only me
I chat to the chatsters
to keep sanity

29/7/99 17:13
Markie

I click on the links
to get to a place
when all I require
is a familiar face

29/7/99 17:12
Markie

I arrive on the tube
sit down at my desk
turn on my machine
and look at the mess

29/7/99 17:09
Markie

As I sit here
surrounded by shite
I look at my screen
and play on this site.

29/7/99 17:06
Markie

A site you are
oh yes you are

Take you to the pub
For a nice Shandy Bass
Then I'll take you home
And violate your ass

29/7/99 16:48

I just wasn't sure how raindrops on a leaf lift anguish - but still...


Right - I'm gone - office move is happening, and the servers are about to die...

Bye all.

29/7/99 16:38
stevie

is beauteous a word? do you mean beasteous?

29/7/99 16:37
Sammy

(goons now realising that he has exposed his sensitive side is now trying to backpedal so fast he's going to fall off his bike!)

29/7/99 16:35
gooner

i can't believe this is still here.

i reckon it's an okay effort, for an uncultured spanner like me.

i should point out that, although i am very fond of her indeed, there is a large amount of schmaltz added for poetic effect.

As I open my eyes,
In the sweet morning light,
The vision that greets me,
Is fairly alright.

doesn't have quite the same ring

beri beri - the raindrops thing shuld really follow on from the beauteous momnts bit, but i don't know how to structure it.

the idea is that thoughts of the person ease the tedium of my working day. see?

29/7/99 16:23
Sammy

bobbs missed his real vocation in life, he should have either been writing the insides of birthday cards or composing crass entries in the lonely hearts columns!

29/7/99 16:23

thats f*ckin magic gooner!!

especially like "Beauteous moments" line, hehehe nice one.

take it down the arse goons and read it over the tannoy at half time. You can get loads of different opinions that way......

29/7/99 16:15
bobbins

my poetry is a little more crass than ususal?

29/7/99 16:12
Sammy

bobbins - I can't believe you stayed awake all this time and you can still type without making mistakes. Have you no ill effects from sleep deprivation?

29/7/99 16:10
bobbins

down in the bar with a nice pint of blackie
pour it on down and then puff on some baccie

29/7/99 16:10

That's 'ain't she', of course!

Every time I turn on the computer I have a picture of a short skirted Brittany Spears dancing in front of me, courtesy of my 14 year old son

slow down bobbins, you will have all night to think these up

29/7/99 16:03

I've got such a crush
on young Miss Lopez
I gave her a full
dispenser of Pez

29/7/99 16:02
beria

That's pretty good...

but...

*ahem*

Like droplets of rain,
On the leaves of a tree,
All anguish is lifted,
Because you’re with me.

I don't get that bit.

...and...

As Ra takes his leave,
And we enter the night,
I’ll sleep so gently,
As my world is right.

personally, when I'm with the woman I love, I do (ahem) something before sleeping gently - you may need another verse in there.


...but it's very good, gooner. Good effort.

it's the stopping that's bad for you.

29/7/99 15:59

no; electric pump, which you may be familiar with

I'm old enough to have learned that beer before 6pm is bad for me

Must go home

29/7/99 15:58

A hand beer?

29/7/99 15:57

it was beer, not shandy

29/7/99 15:56

29/7/99 15:55

vaseline comes in handy

You in love with her, gooner?

wheres the reference to me?

29/7/99 15:51

God, I just keep having to read and re-read it. It's taking control of my life. Get it out of my head. My eyes, my eyes!

29/7/99 15:50
tankgirl

ooh, goons! harsh! I think it's lovely, really.

29/7/99 15:48
gooner

keep with that style sef.

[starts stupid hand movements]

i want my work to be interpreted in a purely subjective manner. i want it to relate to the reader or listener, and their lives and experiences.

29/7/99 15:46
seth

I thought this was hardcore. I was reading it in the style of a Fugazi song.

29/7/99 15:46
gooner

not from blokes, spanky.

anyway, i wouldn't worry about receiving anything like that if i was you.

(ducks very low indeed)

29/7/99 15:45
gooner

you could be onto a winner.

i wrote a punk song about the queen when i was at school, called 'Crusty Old Cunt'. i lost that. damned shame.

i think i might go hardcore with my next effort.

29/7/99 15:44
seth

As an example:

Day is now past,
Like a warm memory,
Time has no meaning,
Because Jennifer Lopez is with me.

29/7/99 15:44
tankgirl

yikes gooner, you've outed me. are you trying to say lezzas don't like poetry?

29/7/99 15:43
seth

Maybe you could change a few words though... (these are obviously just suggestions, feel free to dismiss them out of hand)...

Throughout, perhaps you could repalce the word "you're" with the words "Jennifer Lopez is". I think that might help it scan a little more effortlessly. What do you think?

it's a nice bloody poem, tanky, you fukkin lezza.

sef - any suggestions?

29/7/99 15:39

Have you tried to get anything published, Gooner?

29/7/99 15:38

"My heart, my eyes stop," looks like a tricky one. That's a two-digestive-biscuits-and-a-look-out-of-the-window problem-line.

bear in mind this is like 2 hours work.

Because

As I open my eyes,
In the sweet morning light,
The vision that greets me,
Sets my soul alight.

My heart, my eyes stop,
Arrested by glee,
Senses flooded with joy,
Because you’re with me.

As I attend to the labours,
Of my daily grind,
Beauteous moments,
In my thoughts I do find.

Like droplets of rain,
On the leaves of a tree,
All anguish is lifted,
Because you’re with me.

As I sit in the evening,
Biding my time,
The dusk falls around me,
And sunlight declines.

Day is now past,
Like a warm memory,
Time has no meaning,
Because you’re with me.

As Ra takes his leave,
And we enter the night,
I’ll sleep so gently,
As my world is right.

For I know an Angel,
As pure as can be,
I know her so well,
Because you’re with me.
