From: Bee-dubya-ell Hey, it was all I could think of that had a pastoral setting, five lines, and something resembling a rhyme scheme. Anyway, this thread's far too obsessed with itself to care whether any particular poster's work is original or not. |

From: Thomas the Rhymer I doubt yours is any more interesting than mine... ...And now a brief word from our sponsor... This thread was brought to you by 'total denial' of the relevancy of this indictment. Any similarities between this document's earnest well researched assertions... and the 'conspiracy theory' confusionists... are purely coincidental. And now back to our regularly scheduled self obsession... Actually, now that I mention it... my navel is absolutely engrossing too! Oh how inspiring this all is! You know... properly rhymed and chorded, my introspective inflections and reflections on my navel are MUCH DEEPER than they first appear! ...and with the right marketing... ttr |

From: Stilly River Sage That's nice of you, but I looked at the antiquity of the "speakers" more than their message, and lobbed back more ancient speakers but with a message from Sappho that scholars suggest was lost (for a while) in translation. They were all self-centered, but not so much so as your New Narcissus. Not like the brazen giant of bleak fame, With conquering limbs astride from Afghan to Iran; Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand A mighty woman with a torch . . . Who should beat the fool over the head with it until he gets some sense and leaves everyone else alone |
