Thankfully, there's something which works just as well, and which cannot *possibly* be made to not open at the same time as your inventory  Wink


Nice tip.

I read your post and thanks to you
My fucking eyes are bleeding,
And half my brain has melted from
The shit I was just reading

The content was already-known,
Which makes your efforts boring;
But it's your dreadful verse that
Makes you someone worth ignoring.

Your rhyming scheme's a total mess,
Your scansion is appalling,
And ev'ry time I read this thread
It sets my skin to crawling

But all's not lost, don't shit your pants,
No need to be contrary;
Just learn to fucking use
An online rhyming dictionary   Roll Eyes


This message was brought to you by the number 3, and the letters D, I, A and F.


This doesn't have the same rhythmic meter.  It should be 8 6 8 6 (or less, with pauses).  Sing the OP to the tune of amazing grace.

Oh please.   I'm not going to subject myself to that, not for a big clock.

OP's post only holds to that pattern until the repetition of 'put', itself an abomination.  After that, it's 7,6,7,5 for the next bit (and the stresses are all to hell), and... seriously, just no.   Grin

If I had wanted to write in ballad meter, I would have  Smiley

As Persi pointed out, having a different meter from the op is a good thing.

I'm sorry your education sucked so fucking hard that you can't even enjoy poetry. What a sad, runty, closed-down ghosttown of a life you must have.

I had a real education. It didn't involve studying word-arrangement games. DIAF.

And there's the proof. You're not even aware that you don't know what poetry is.

Profound? No. You just don't understand poetry. That's not a swipe at you; it's a fact. If you keep thinking you do understand it, know what it's about, and remain convinced that it's lame, you'll never have the opportunity to actually learn what poetry is. I'm guessing some dumbass tried to tell you that poems are like puzzles, or little terrorists you have to waterboard confessions out of. You can find a lot of great things in poems, but if a poem tries to convince you that it holds the one true super special Truth, go kick that poet in the fucking crotch, cuz that shit is just a power play.

LMAO! I can't wait to re-use that one!

Edit: Oh, and thanks @Wabbit, @Persi, and @Creeper, setting your messages in verse was quite entertaining too (though I nearly missed Creeper's).

Turdbin, keep changing the DDO rules, because McDonalds sold over 200 billion hamburgers by changing the recipe for their Special Sauce every couple of months to keep interest up.

Your education was obviously quite special. In fact, I bet you could write a poem about it in iambic pentameter and title it "Adult Diaper Seizure."

You would still be a waste of space though.

Nope. I ranted basically because my education also taught me that poetry was lame. I wasted many years avoiding poetry because of it.

If it makes you feel better, by all means, continue thinking this is an insult exchange.

This was insult #1, but hey, short-term memory loss is pretty common, right?

I could have a perfectly civil conversation with you as to why poetry is not my literary cup of tea, but it would be a waste of my time, and this is the vault so DIAF.

Nope. I figured it out for myself before I chose my education.

Other than a few special posts that have saved me from ages of meaningless game grind, I have to say that in my 4ish months of lurking, this is the best thing I've ever read on vault!
