Do you get the Newbie blues when you see the username
Thoughtjotter?
Don't you wish that babbling old fool would take his
damn whippoorwill and fly away?
Do you hear fingernails on the chalkboard?
and wonder, what in the hell the question marks are for...

Why did he post it here?
Its going to look like an explosion in the alphabet.
just like the one before...
Will it make as big a mess this time?

Ohh the disarray...
the disarray...>Big Grin<

Do you remember his re-write?
Did it go from bad to worse?
then he put in the wrong damn place,
where no one could tell what was first,
last or even in between.

Where in the world did he come from?
How in the hell did he land here?
Totally fucking up his fuck ups...
with a stuttering bird to boot.

You didn't forget the whippoorwill, did you...
That whippoorwill..

Ha, this was fun. That's forumitis, gives you an invisible rash you think others see, common as getting a cold. Smile

Thanks for the read, and the flock. Wink

Your 'dissary' is in disarray,
and yes, I read about poor will.

Your thoughts jotted down remain today.
Were your critiques tossed as swill?

Has the whip-poor-will flown away;
are the three versions flapping still?

What else are fuck ups for
if not to fuck up more?

I love meta- and self-referential poetry (perhaps a little bit too much), because this is where we get a direct window into the poet's messed up though processes -- and this to me proves just how welcome an addition you are Smile
It could be worse

Well this is good news, I thought my keyboard had run out of ink or something! I've done wrote Whippoorwill so many times I can even spell it now and I've been scratching every time somebody looks at me.
Do I need to take some writequill or somethin for it?
Thanks,

Man, I've abused that poor bird so much PETA is on my ass. Might be time to let ole Whippoorwill fly North.
If the bird fits, scream!,

Well, I guess my intellectual approach kinda went to the birds, huh? Thanks for the vote of confidence though, can't wait till I become a real 'Bird of a Feather'!
Undissarayed,

You have a bird-ass? Is it like a pegasus-mule?

As self-absorbed as this poem might be, it's also entertaining and amusing, which makes it pretty goodSmile At the risk of annoying the Pig Pen's favourite eccentric, however, I will say that "disarray" should be spelled like soBig Grin

What he said.




dale the terse
How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?

The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
