It's Not Polite To Be Bitchy

[~*~ k a t e ~*~]

Here's a poem I wrote today. I'm not sure why I'm posting it here, so please don't ask that of me...


Don't Be Bitchy, M'kay?

When you decide to be snide and deride
You should save it inside
And then smile
And then hide

Whenever you feel the desire to chide
You should bottle it in
And then smile
And then hide

Remember, when yearning to shout and be snide
That it's much more polite
To just cry
'Till you've died

Total c***p. This forum's not for poetry! :evil:

(Kate often makes very tongue in cheek posts, so I can be reasonably certain that she will spot that I am pulling her leg by making a humorous post carefully intended to demonstrate exactly what the poem is about. I'm posting this explanation in case anyone else doesn't realise that my reply is intended to be humorous or in case Kate is having a sense of humour failure when she reads it! :shock: In fact, I think it is a very good peom; better than the ones I can write. It actually scans - I think that is the right word - as well as rhymes. :D I could never make the words sound in rhythm... :cry: )

You're right, this forum is not for "poetry", it's for "off-topic". What was I thinking?!

I would have been a lot more impressed if you'd omitted the disclaimer, you know.

I think, from what I've seen of her posts, that she is being very sarky and what she really means is Yaa, who wants to be sweet and nice when you can enjoy being a real bitch

Actually I think you're wrong! :shock: The poem is crap! :twisted: It's the same old superficial, repetitive, lightheaded, rubbish! After all you could never accuse ME of being repetitive and superficial. Could you?! :wink: :oops:

Holly x :wink: :lol:

Is it iambic pentameter?

It's the same old superficial, repetitive, lightheaded, rubbish

Correct!! I was musing about how most of my LiveJournal.com entries were all rather misanthropic and how youth plus soceital dissatisfaction usually equals "weepy, self-centred Goth-chick" so I wrote some typical verse in accordance, then sat back to see what happened.


Is it iambic pentameter?

No; it's ironic pentameter.

Ape: No, not from what I remember of poetry lessons 30 years ago.

Holly: Yes, of course I can accuse you of that. Your wetting is both repetitive (you've been doing it frequently for 10 years) and superficial (when it shows through your skirt or trousers)!!! :P :lol:

Kate: Sorry re the disclaimer. I've been caught several times by not adding one and the person concerned did not spot it (no names, no pack drill) or all the other posters have vented their wrath on me... Let's use the even smaller size and see if we can still read it!!!

Pssst: WT! Cut 'n Paste into PFE or Notepad and it works fine...
