The Skipper and Milligan

Post by Stich This »

Both scored on Thursday night.
Though the skipper was moving Gingerly
before being subbed at halftime.
Socceroos played like millionaires,
led by Ang, the new Professor.
Howell they didn't score a dozen goals is beyond me.
And the rest ... is history.

I hope that was not supposed to be a Poem?

It doesn't Rhyme or make any sort of grammatical sense if not. :roll:

By the time you read my reply ...

It was trying to be funny using wordplay from Gilligans Island.

Obviously it wasn't .
Just a bit of light in difficult times. Sorry.

The only reason for that is that modern, 'so called Poets' aren't intelligent to think of how to make it Rhyme.

Most of the crap written today and being passed off as poetry is nothing more than dull prose.

DH Lawrence, TS Elliott and Walt Whitman all wrote on occasions using "free text".

My favourite poem is written by Lord Tennyson and only rhymes a few times.
