With my powers of either invisibility or changing my appearance, you would never find me and I could always walk up to you and kill you first before you even knew what hit you.....

I'd like to have the power to make people suddenly, and, hopefully, catastrophically, lose any semblance of control over their bowels and shit themselves copiously and without remit.

I tend to think it already is, if you remember his ramblings about urine and semen.

Tele-kinetic powers extend to the senses of smell and ultra sight and sound.
So ... I'd smell you first (jebeezus, do I have to... all that p!ss and wind?) ...
...then hear your padded feet trip tripping towards me,
...then I'd see the weapon and turn it upon you ....
Checkmate ... a self inflicted murder.
So there. hello

My cousin's, he took me out on a sled,
And I was frightened. He said, Marie,
Marie, hold on tight. And down we went.

....

I will show you fear in a handful of dust.

No, just keeping with the random lunacy in this thread. Yes, I may be here all day.

On a sled? Shocked

Wow.
I'm Impressed.
What was Marie's reaction?

by furriner Tue 08 Apr 2008, 16:07

I believe Marie was gratified, 'veddy veddy plaised' as a matter of fact.

You should get a job in our local curry house, then...

Batman wrote:That joke Mynah was not with Batman and Catwoman. Batman is a human being with no powers. He is just in great physical shape and is a master of most known human combat modes and detective skills. He is a normal guy. Just someone in great shape in spandex.

The one in the joke is about Superman [He has the superpowers to fly at Superspeed and be out in a second in this joke]. He flies by fast and lays Wonder Woman or so he thinks. But it is Invisible Man he lays into without realizing.....

Sorry, Batman. Wink

Didn't know about the penchant for Spandex, either...

And I will show you something different from either
Your shadow at morning striding behind you
Or your shadow at evening rising to meet you;
I will show you fear in a handful of dust

And Strange to tell, among the Earthen Lot
Some could articulate, whilst others not:
And Suddenly one more impatient cried -
'Who is the potter, pray, and who the pot?'

And I Tiresias have foresuffered all
Enacted on this same divan or bed;
I who have sat by Thebes below the wall
And walked among the lowest of the dead.

Ah, Moon of my delight, who know'st no wane
The moon of heaven is rising once again!
How oft hereafter shall she look
Through this same garden after me - in vain?

Death be not proud, though some have called thee
Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so.
For, those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

Eh?

Could man be drunk for ever
With liquor, love, or fights,
Lief should I rouse at morning
And lief lie down at nights.

But men at whiles are sober
And think by fits and starts,
And if they think, they fasten
Their hands upon their hearts.

I think it sums up some really deep and important things about man and our place in the universe, that last one.

Mostly inside of of large ursines, was what I gathered, anyway.

I'm probably just about sober enough to go to bed now, anyway, so no more poetry.

What have you done to my thread?
Stop posting poetry, you big poof.

by furriner Wed 09 Apr 2008, 00:34

The one guy who seemed to write English ghazals.

Wilt thou forgive that sin where I begun,
Which was my sin, though it were done before?
Wilt thou forgive that sin, through which I run,
And do run still, though still I do deplore?
When thou hast done, thou hast not done,
For I have more.

by furriner Wed 09 Apr 2008, 00:36

@ tac, whoever cares, the rhythm, scan, and wordplay of ^^^^^ is IMO closest to Urdu shayari/ ghazal writing, down to the play on his name in the penultimate line.
