That's doggerel, not poetry, and not even very good doggerel at best.

What does this thread have to do with music?

WAV is no longer welcome to post in the BS section so membership has been suspended. This one thread that contains said doggerel is the one he's allowed to continue to add to - and we will assume that you now know better and will never open it again. This post and note will be removed after a period of time when people can register your complaint and understand the reason. ---mudelf

Via a maritime Mount,
    Fleetwood with its channel out;
would this be a double entendre poem

Farewell, Angelina
The bells of the crown
Are being stolen by bandits
I must follow the sound
The triangle tingles
And the trumpets play slow
But farewell, Angelina
The sky is on fire
And I must go
There's no need for anger
There's no need for blame
There's nothing to prove
Everything's still the same
Just a table standing empty
By the edge of the sea
Means farewell, Angelina
The sky is trembling
And I must leave
The jack and queen
Have forsaked the courtyard
52 gypsies
Now file past the guards
In the space where the deuce
And the ace once ran wild
Farewell, Angelina
The sky is falling
I'll see you in a while
See the cross-eyed pirates sitting
Perched in the sun
Shooting tin cans
With a sawed-off shotgun
And the neighbors, they clap
And they cheer with each blast
But farewell, Angelina
The sky's changing color
And I must leave fast
King Kong, little elves
On the rooftop they dance
Valentino-type tangos
While the make-up man's hands
Shut the eyes of the dead
Not to embarrass anyone
But farewell, Angelina
The sky is embarrassed
And I must be gone
The machine guns are roaring
And the puppets heave rocks
And fiends nail time bombs
To the hands of the clocks
Call me any name you like
I will never deny it
But farewell, Angelina
The sky is erupting
I must go where it's quiet

For the benefit of anyone else on here, Sandman's quote is from a "A Good Seaside Day" - linked just above, and with pics (hopefully) helping show what I describe, but with none of your "double entendre" I'm afraid.

I'll take note, mudelf. However, as the dogger has clearly insulted me ('if you can count'), I must point out that said dogger's oeuvre is just a mere flippancy when compared to the rhymes of Patience Strong.

Here's one of her greatest works, 'The Company of Nations'.

'A group of islands, loved and lovely, first a colony -
    Strung out like a necklace flung across the southern seas -
Now a beautiful Dominion, God's own gift to us -
    A jewel in the Israel crown, a pearl most marvellous
Rich in churches, farms and cities; pastures, cattle, sheep -
    where this people British-bred their ancient laws may keep.


First of Britain's family to come to Britain's aid -
    In two great world-wide wars - the memory shall not fade -
From the Mother heart that beats in London's sanctuary.
    Across the world we hail New Zealand - one of our company.'

Ouch.

T. Cholmondeley Frink in Lewis's Babbitt was modeled after Edgar Guest, "The Poet of the People." Same kind of stuff.

With a new pic of an old print added, my poem "Above Everest"
/Chomolungma (Tibetan)/Sagarmatha (Nepalese) - which Apa Sherpa, from Nepal, has climbed 21 times!

Why has this crap crept back in?

Very simply, Modette, WAV is allowed to post his poetry but not to enter into BS discussions. The best way of keeping it that way is to not goad him into any arguments. If you don't like his poetry just don't read it. I do not particulary like or understand it either but will defend his right to publish it!

WAV is pushing boundaries - the next time, the IP is also blocked. There will be no mention of "English values" vs the United Nations in any other thread. Not obits, not anywhere. Your Aryan view of the world is not welcome here, David. Understood? ---mudelf

That is all a matter of personal taste I suppose. There is some really good music that I don't like and some crap that I do! As long as he doesn't do any hate speech, leave him be to post his poems.
