Hehe…

Hi MR I hope you are not feeling left out as I’ve yet to dedicate a work in your honour.

[QUOTE=mightyrooster; We need some Shakespeare. This is a sonnet and I remember that a sonnet has 14 lines and the last two lines are called a couplet. Hope I pass the test........

Good contribution MR. There are different types of Sonnets but, yes, all have 14 lines and are divided into 2 stanzas, the Octet, the first 8 lines sets the scene and the final 6 lines, the Sestet provide a resolution. Your choice is a Shakespearian form of the sonnet but not all sonnets are about romantic love.

This one always reminds me that life is, in essence, male and female and in terms of purpose, procreation is the only reason for individual existence as it is with all living organisms. All else in human terms is contrived and, really, non essential but material progress has certainly made life a lot easier to bear while we go about the sex.

"Shall I Compare Thee" is part of another artificial human inclination, that of infusing the basic drive with beauty. The truth that that is just another embellishment can be seen in a quick walk around any shopping mall.

There was a poster on here named Eddie
his favourite player was Teddy
he doesn’t work
said some with a smirk
but he’s been told to take things slow and steady

I hope nobody takes offence at these They are not personal Just a bit of harmless fun

LOL made me laugh...................you're getting pretty good at these.

[eddie]

Hey baby, you join just for me? If the guy is such a bum maybe he would be well advised to keep his mouth shut before crapping on others. Eddie opened his mouth and let the shit dribble out.

Well, I didn't choose to be put on the pension, but you chose to be a fukwit.
You didn't say what you supposedly teach, is it stupidity?
Weird that you get all upset about an old saying. There's good and bad in all professions....................I'm guessing from your carry on that you represent the bad.

Hi MR I hope you are not feeling left out as I’ve yet to dedicate a work in your honour.

No you don’t need to worry about me.

[Andrew Walker]

No you don’t need to worry about me.

I will be very kind to you.

There was a good lady named MR
Whom I think is an absolute star
she is a rare find
as she is always kind
I would never push her too far

Because I like nature I thought I would share a poem for all to reflect on about a tree


Trees


BY JOYCE KILMER
I think that I shall never see

A poem lovely as a tree.


A tree whose hungry mouth is prest

Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;


A tree that looks at God all day,

And lifts her leafy arms to pray;


A tree that may in Summer wear

A nest of robins in her hair;


Upon whose bosom snow has lain;

Who intimately lives with rain.


Poems are made by fools like me,

But only God can make a tree.

You drew first blood Steady Eddie.

No , you silly prick, you did when you got all nasty and personal from being offended by nothing.
The only offensive thing in this thread is you calling someone in my position a "dole bludger".
I haven't been on the rock'n'roll since 1984.

You idiot. You should apologise for your foolish comments.

[eddie]

lol.
You morons who get offended by nothing are always asking for apologies you don't deserve.

Moron? I'm not the one who does nothing and shits on those that do.

There you go getting things wrong again.

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

You are an asshat Eddie. Go and find something constructive to do.

Oh dear...............have I upset you again?

You claim to be a teacher, I could teach you a thing or two.
You've demonstrated an inability to learn from your mistakes, which is the height of stupidity.
I feel sorry for your students...................if you've actually got any.
