The Nursery Rhyme Corner Presents: The Vogon Poets Society
In honor to Tevun Krus Space Punk, and as the 18th of August was International Bad Poetry Day, the Nursery Rhyme Corner presents The Vogon Poet Society
We start with the Revered @elveloy and a render of the famous Twinkle, Little Starin a most articulated way.
****
@elveloy: Twinkle Little Star
Twinkle twinkle little star
gargle gargle gargle blah
vogon bureaucrats rule the sky
demolishing planets, we don't know why
Twinkle twinkle little star
Before we put you in a jar ...

The Venerable @jinnis seldom comes out of the darkness, though, this time, she enlightened us with her poetry... in the dark
****
@jinnis: A poem in the dark
Dedicated to @angerbda @elveloy @rsNelson
A poem in the dark
Ignites a friendly spark
And poetry in space
Is absolutely ace
From Mars to Milky Way
With poetry we sway
Along a comet's tail
So happily we sail
And if you need a break
And feel the world is fake
A secret I'll confess
Amidst this rhyming mess
This isn't really punk
But rather worthless junk
Cause even with a rhyme
It sounds like puking slime
I guess I'll better leave
Before you howl in grief
Goodbye, my friend, good night
And keep your airlock tight

The Great Mademoiselle herself, @SarahWeaver6 graces us with the premises of an epic poem, Fleeting Desires.

FLEETNG DESIRES
Fleeing image
On the green blit...
Emotions split.
For me the images
Contain the reels
Of scattered film
With the broken wheels
Scattered on tile.
Heroes die
In many brutal ways,
Sometimes fry.
Bloodshed knows no bounds on forsaken Earth.
Luckily for them, not deemed Satan of the Earth.
In film with heroes by the Tulip farm,
C'est far to much to believe their innocense, their charm,
Their unconditional bloody deeds.
I'd rather wear myself molten anal beads.
So much is left unsaid about their desires.
Why should I believe, they would set
Their entire village on fire.
Regardless of the genre or the form,
I always want to stomp out like a worm.
But I suppose that's not true to form.
And to be fair, I love those giant Alsatian bows.
Murder on the wall
Who is the bloodiest
Of them all, in rows.
For me the images
Contain the reels
Of scattered film
With the broken wheels
Scattered on tile.
I suppose I should fix it.
Not for false goodness,
I just love the German accent
Better than Creme De Mint.

We have the "most greatest" honour to host, today, The Exceptionnal @DavidNadas, the Limerick specialist of the group. Let's let him entertain us with wit and music...
****
@DavidNadas: Limerick
There was an alien from Venus,
Who came to Earth to greet us.
When he stepped off the ship,
We heard his pants rip,
And out rolled his un-earthly...
Well... you know...

And finally, the nursery part of the rhyme corner to come at last. @angerbda proposes a gargled version of Bobby Shafto's gone to sea.
***
@angerbda:
Boby Shaft's so freddled be
Lost his buckel down his knee;
He'll come slack and blamey thee,
Bony Bobby Shaft Oh!
Bobby Shaft's so bright and fair
Spanning out an inch out there
He's my love no nevermore
Bony Bobby Shaft Oh!
//Adapted from the original: Bobby Shafto's gone to sea
Bobby Shafto's gone to sea,
Silver buckles at his knee;
He'll come back and marry me,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
Bobby Shafto's bright and fair,
Panning out his yellow hair;
He's my love for evermore,
Bonny Bobby Shafto!
