Grotesquely nerdy theatre geekery for DBZ

[React1oN]

Why do you need to be a theatre
major in order to write down words?
It's not very difficult if you've
heard the songs of a few passing birds.
Must I show this to all of you,
or did many of you already know?
I'm hoping that you did BBV,
for now 'tis my time to go.

Frankly,
I'm embarrassed
for
all you
ratfinks
for even attempting to capture
the heart of a
Modern Woman
with such out-
dated forms!
Get with the times
[censored] [censored] [censored] boners
meter and rhyme is like
a metaphor without a
very specific direct
object = befuddling.
What would LeRoi Jones
do? Kill
Whitey,
that is all.

Actually Stoppard does have the emphasis on the second syllable, I heard a tape of him one time and he said his own name "Stuhpard" with the emphasis on "pard."

Anyways, A+ just for fitting obfuscate in there

For DBZ and those who care a whit
I'll speak the reasons I am not a nit.
To recap my distaste for Tom Stoppard:
It's not so much that his text is real hard.
You see, Bill Shakespere is often quite tough
But rarely does he waste my mental stuff.
To parse his meaning from anachronism
Can often lead to sturm and drang.
But if his use of language can be sick
His words, when understood, cut to the quick.
With fancy turns of phrase, Tom Obfuscates
More subtle points than he elucidates.
I think that I shall mark this speech as done.
I hope it was received in due good fun.

i wouldn't've minded some of this action though:

srsly rhyming poetry, unless done by someone with complete mastery of the english language, sounds terrible

[/ QUOTE ]idk about complete mastery but basically, you're right

[Dan87]

if you read something by Shakespeare of Marlowe or Yeats etc it doesn't even sound like they are trying to rhyme things.

That isn't to say that people nowadays can't write poetry, I would say to look at rap and see an eminem or nas song to see how rhyming can be discreet not "THERE WAS FOG AND A DOG DOWN BY THE BOG"
