If you find a poem coming on and you don't know where to post it, open a new thread. Someone will soon tell you where it should have gone.

There was a young man from Darjeeling,
Who boarded a bus bound for Ealing,
It said on the door,
'Don't spit on the floor',
So he stood up and spat on the ceiling.

There's a guy that we call Uncle Bernie
Whose baton has made a long journey,
And it seems on these boards
Everyone him applauds
In particular Pet, Alison and Ferney.

How pleasant to join in the Forum
Where everyone's full of decorum
With bright, friendly posts
(And ditto, the Hosts)
On presenters, and how we deplore 'em.

" Earth Dances" by Harry Birtwistle
Moved me to write a forum epistle.
If Brahms and that
Don't get 'em to chat,
Then I'll have to be hopeful that this'll.

There once was a person called presenter
who acted as my mentor,
alas, the times have changed,
the new one is deranged,
so why this new tormentor?

[Pulcinella]

The chap who composed Pulcinella
Was simply one helluva feller.
He pinched Pergolesi
And then he went crazy
And wrote what became a best seller.

Can't fault him for being keen and Igor.

Love the original creations here

Can't claim author's rights on this but it's one of my favourites, and relevant/nostalgic:


The critics' acclaim for Joyce Hatto
Had reached an impossible plateau:
Her falling from grace
Was quite clearly a case
Of her spouse over-egging the gateau.

They've got to scan right, though! Honestly: you'd think people who write so perceptively here on matters musical would have a basic sense of rhythm!

I think it scans fine, what's the problem S_A?

Serial doesn't do polyrhythms...

My ears they are a hurtin'
'Cos Three's output continues to worsen
KD, Suzy and Sean are all bad
Their inane prattle drives me mad
As for Clemmie, the station's gone for a Burton
