    Four Score years and seventeen
    Unreal seem things you know have been
    Close in times now far away
    Keep what once had run astray
    Young you were, in days now past
    Old you are, yet still you last
    Unfit for for life, due for the grave
    But you still you live, though death you crave
    In times gone past, you truly were
    Ten thousand times the man you are
    Chide yourself for what you've done
    Hah! Your life rates dropped to none

    I like it!:D Subtly anarchic! Very nice. That actually must have taken ages to come up with. I doff (Yes it is a word) my hat to you good sir. Might I ask if that was directed at the wonderfully benevolent (your words not mine) Neil?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    What? No! It wasn't aimed at anyone


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 849 ✭✭✭mentalimplosion


    there's something about this thread that i find really love-me-make-me-your-best-friend-ever-because-i-write-funny-attention-seeking
    -things-esque

    but then again, i misinterpret everything

    In fairness he's not a bad guy. I should know. I put up with him for two weeks last year.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,880 ✭✭✭Raphael


    Yeah, then you ran away screaming like a little girl

    YOU YELLOW *******!!!!

    P.s. what zounds pointed out, then edited away, is that there is a hidden message in the poem. Read the first letter of each line

    edit: odd, no censorship....*does it himself*


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Actually I was dragged away, kicking and screaming, to France of all places! *shudders* If I never do that again it'll be too soon. And what needed censorship? They don't censor "bastard" if that's what you mean.

    Y'all missed my hilarious and eloquent reply in faux german yesterday, so I shall say:

    CURSING IST NICHT DAS FERSCHUTZENWAFFLE

    I love the german language, it sound so funny. + learnt how to count to 20...so am basically fluent.

    ja, ich bin wunderbar :)

    Gott hat sich erschossen


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 315 ✭✭gigglingrat


    The german for gloves is HANDSHOESEN! i dunno how its spelt, bt meh. And the german for nipple means breast wart! I find these things amuse me, what with my underdeveloped sense of Humour.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 315 ✭✭gigglingrat


    Hey, I got 2 stars! I have a poem....

    Waiting
    by me.

    He looks so sad, the little man
    His eyebrows raised, mouth a cold, hard line
    The over-sized headphones
    Do not mask his inner turmoil
    His head, severed from his body
    Is as flat and lifeless as a frisbee

    Suddenly, he lights up
    My worry dissolves
    The tiny angusished man is gone, forgotten
    The screen reads
    '1 message recieved'










    This may not make sense to people who have a better phone then me, ie EVERYONE, but i dont care. you've all got good phones to comfort you.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,034 ✭✭✭✭It wasn't me!


    Actually that's pretty cool contemporary poetry. I like it. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 315 ✭✭gigglingrat


    *my spider sense is tingling...could it be? Yes, its sarcasm for sure.*


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 849 ✭✭✭mentalimplosion


    anyway, back to the german
    (it's my last exam on friday. hurrah.)

    ich liebe deine ellenbogen!

    anyway, nice work aoife. keep it up


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 315 ✭✭gigglingrat


    Ich habe das grosbanane.
    I don't do german.
    Shoot me.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭J Campion


    Anyway... I think your poem's cool Raphael... 'cept my granny's 97, so it's kinda... weird (if not poignant) The first letter of each line thing is also cool.

    Actually no. That was sincerity. My sarcasm is far less subtle than that. :rolleyes:

    Goddamn German! Wish I understood some of it! Then again I do understand durkfall, but only because my friend was so happy that he managed to include it in his letter. Those are my new eyes btw. I would have replied to that but, y'no... Oh and by the way people, tis my birthday today so I can't be banned! :D Right, time to go exploit ignorance!

    MANGE POUSSON AVEC MOI!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 149 ✭✭twirly sponge


    Je ne comprends pas le German.

    What does Kater mean? It has my name in it like. Hmm.

    Speaking of my name, I saw the pass Business Studies paper the other day and it said "Kate Sullivan is a farmer who kept the following receipts and payments account...." or something like that. And whoa, that's my name. But I'm not a farmer.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 408 ✭✭purplepolkadot


    eh....michelle, ma belle, sonst lets mots qui von tres bien ensemble, tres bien ensemble


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 458 ✭✭ll=llannah


    C'est une chanson belle. mais de temps en temps c'est fatiguante. blech. je ne comprends pas l'Allemande. pas du tout. néanmoins, le conversation (pour l'absence d'un mot plus correcte) amuse moi parce que j'aime le francais et je n'ai pas parlé cette language il y a trois mois. les examens sont stupides. oui.
    languages are lovely...and...stuff.

    or, in flawed german,

    sehe es an, Kate! du bist einen Bauer

    The weird one was Michael Joseph Mumba, and Samantha Harte in the paper II

    Yes, that sort of thing happens every year. Back in the day, Meath had won the All-Ireland Football Championship the September before the exams, and they had Meath Ltd, Sam Ltd, and Maguire Ltd in one question. Whoever sets that paper has a sense of humour, you see. Not necessarily a good thing when the fate of tens of thousands of young people is in your hands.

    Yeah this year, it was DIRDAM Ltd, UNAM Ltd, FFUD Ltd, and MAHKCEB Ltd.
    Being Beckham, Duff, ManU and Madrid backwards. I guess it makes the exam less boring and stuff. Or something.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 168 ✭✭Peterfing


    My sister's doing accounting or business studies or something in DCU and apparently they do it in their exams too! They had a Simpsons and Futurama themed exam once. Apparently the same guy who sets the JC exams does it for college too...




    ...or maybe ALL accountants are just losers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 134 ✭✭J Campion
