Points For Prose Day

[leehack]

Today children, an element of poetry must be placed into all forum responses, points for prose day we shall call it.

Poet of the day shall be awarded at 5pm.

If you're a poet but might not know it, do you speak in rhyme some of the time?

[Mike Hughes]

Overworked? Feeling borked?
Don't just sit there, let's get fit here!
Come on son, join in the fun!
Get fit with Lee, and do it merrily!

I hope that brown mac is impervious to rotten toms, there's a few on their way over.

[grantglendinnin]

I thought of something witty to reply with, but failed. FML.

Stunned is an understatement

Stunned is an understatement

That's the effect I go for. Understated but classy.

Is that the new actinic tariff?

Better than paying £750 + vat I guess.

You should change your diet!

[acompton]

In pedant mode,
I shall abode,
But briefly, for you see:
I must suppose
Where Lee said ‘prose’
He really meant ‘poetry’
(they’re not the same thing)

*I really must get out more*

[acompton]

(with huge apologies to Longfellow and his ‘Hiawatha’)

By the shores of south-west London
By the road called twenty-five
Came the mighty Chris, the Barling
Him, they all call Acti-man

To the land of online retail,
To the land of loneliness;
Chris-the-B brought awe and wonder
With his product: Acti-nic

At the doorway of his wigwam
Chris, the Barling stood and listened
Listened to the braves a-calling,
Calling for a version 10

Bring to us the one-page checkout!
Bring to us the GC link!
Cried the braves and squaws of retail
Bring us bug-free code as well.

(I’m on a roll, now…)

Alan currently leads Sharkey for the crown, 10 mins to go, looks a done deal.

[Mike Hughes]

looks a done deal.

Ha, no surprise there. I know a fix when I see one. No way did I only get 1% of the vote, I demand a recount and will take to the streets with my followers until the old archaic system is overthrown or they come to their senses and anull the decision.

Too much of this stuff going on. Somebody find me a BBC reporter.

Alan wins and the guy moaning about the rules gets the wooden spoon and more tomatoes thrown at him.

[fergusw]

Kudos to Alan. Well done.
(Although we all know he spent the last 5 hours refining his entry) :p

There were rules?

Hmm. OK. Maybe they're more chasers than followers.

Congratulations to Alan.

Statistically, 5 out of 4 Iranians won't get this joke ;)

[acompton]

Alan wins
I'd like to begin by thanking my parents for having me....

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow spent a year writing the Song of Hiawatha. I destroyed it in less than half an hour (look at my two posting times)
