Dear Aletheia,
did you know that there is a long-standing tradition on this forum that new posters are honoured by having a poem written especially for them by the top writer here.

So here is my hunderell for you

A POEM FOR ALETHEIA

It makes no sense
to live in Odense
when København
is the better town

på Dansk det er

det giver ikke mening
at bo i Odense
når København
er den bedre by

damn it doesn't rhyme!!

[imaginary friend]

Lion of Lions, you are such a roaring show-off!

Go back to Silly Mid-on, and do not run, walk (why don't they call them 'walks' not 'runs'? they make them at naught miles per hour most of the time).

I trust you are impressed with my extensive, knowledge of The G of C.

[Lion of Lions]

I know that Canada does play cricket (albeit in a minor sort of way)but I am impressed enough to give you a crossword clue to solve

"you have seen a cakewalk but have you seen plenty of this?" (9 letters)

[imaginary friend]

Anyway, what's the answer?

well you started off rhyming very well there :p anyways, methinks the best poems don't rhyme, because in finding a rhyming word, you're detracting from what you really want to say.

Do you want Alethiea to fine you or find you?

I did not get a welcome poem when I joined last year ..
Now all you poets out there, don't go rushing to write me a poem, I only want one from the top writer.

I was just trying to help Michael improve his. maybe I should get a fine for that. I do hope he writes you a nice one.

[tinderella]

NO Jack, you should not be fined. I liked your take on the original

I will be happy if he writes me a poem, even if it is not a nice one
