Back in the humour thread in post Message 27 a well stoned Oni suggests:
An appropriately edited Oni writes:
Well as a fan and purveoyor of such things myself that sounded like a vaguely decent idea. So here is a place for such things. EvC's very own "Creativity Corner". A place for rap, rhyme, verse, prose, limericks or whatever else takes anyone’s fancy. The following is a list of links to those I know of
In fact, there are some creative people here at EvC, maybe a small book....with some original poems, songs, raps.... StragglerNwr Does My Nut - Message 140 The Onifre and Sam Harris Spirituality Master Farce - Message 36 The Cath and Frog Shootemup - Message 400 EvC Forum Cast And Crew. This Rhyme Is All About YOU - Message 109 Rap Attack (Fight The Deist) - Message 103 Santa Socks It - Message 90 RAZDRAZD's Rap Attack Response - Message 108 Bah Humbug!! - Message 99 Dr AdequateTwo By Two, Hurrah! - Message 32 Ode To People Who Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It - Message 27 VariousLimerick Shmimerick I am sure there are many such more so if you know of such post a link to it here. And those who are so inclined should consider this a place to post the results of their new creative inclinations. Edited by Straggler, : No reason given.

A Memory of Breath
Hallucinations billow in from some other placeAntiseptic solutions push back An opiate smear of memories and desire A feast of misery in honour of life A slow leaving Eyes fade into the opaque Tenuous sinews cling to a memory of breath Gasping and gone The cold dark of stars gives over to morning pale The past falls out from the lens of the momentLingering Blown like smoke and cast like iron And doomed to rust Flakes of memory slake off and glitter Some brief and some bright I had forgotten for a moment that you were goneBut not that you were here A sun drenched afternoon on the porch in the shade and the heat With dogs panting The long scratch of cicada and tall weeds of August Great crates of time stacked all around Condensate gathers by the cold beer and the echoes continue to fade

Thanks. It is about my father who died a few years ago.
It resonates pretty strongly with me but it would wouldn’t it? I guess I was wondering if it rang true in any wider sense.

Great stuff. I had somehow missed all of these.
Are they all Dr A originals?

Are they all Dr A originals? Yes, or I'd have posted them in the Lack Of Creativity Corner.

I only wondered about This Is The Title because of Percy's link in Message 3. http://podblack.com/?p=1077
Frankly am well impressed by your collection.

Frankly am well impressed by your collection. Thank you. I have a slim volume available here if anyone's interested. That was back in 2006, and I'm not sure that I'd put all the poems that are in it into it now, but parts of it are excellent.

Dr A writes: I have a slim volume available here if anyone's interested. Aha a professional in our midst!!
Dr A writes: Thank you. Seriously dude - Fucking clever, piss-yer-pants funny, outrageously well "vocabularised" and kickass constructed.

This will make no sense whatsoever to anyone who hasn't followed the Peanut Gallery or recent related threads. But hopefully those who have will get some of the references and find it mildly amusing. As ever - I have entertained myself even if no-one else.
This rhyme is about my main man XongNo doubt his family ties are strong Brother of the agnostic opinionated deist who is just wrong But I'm convinced that it's with the dark side he does belong It's time he turned to the the ungodly throng Strags, bluegenes, Mod, Panda, PaulK... - The list is long Time for Xongsmith to sing a different song Let the fence sitting no more prolong But how could that happen? What is that tale? Listen up and I shall regale On the question of the supernatural we disagreeTo the ridiculous but massive extent of nought point three. He’s a five point seven. I’m a proponent of six. That is the root cause of all the verbal shoves and kicks Yes - You may think the difference is minor But it's all about the presence of an intelligent designer An EvC topic of much dispute Each side determined the other to refute The views of the other side just don't compute That's why the seemingly endless pursuit Anyway — This rhyme is about that. Bluegenes theory, rabbits and hats And how Strags caused a family spat All started with relentless talk of GodBrother Zen's fundamentalist agnosticism is like a lightning rod Try to resist but cannot help ourselves Resulted in many many threads and over sixteen hundred peanut shells!! Debate went on and on. EvC felt put-upon Admin has had enough. "This has gone on far to long" Put a sock in it or you will be gone! But much thought did ariseAnd some of that I will now here reprise RAZ wants to define science as axiomatic But his epistemological stance is tragic Just sweeps aside any examples that are problematic Really is little more than a debate tactic What are these mysterious pos-tu-lates? Try and define them and you will end up in dire straits Last Thursdayism. The one second universe - Such examples he just hates Exposes agnostic nonsense as second rate. Xong did some analysis and proudly proposed his own dilemmaThe result was the much maligned anal Emma So wedded to her he cannot see why she is so reviled With her fake allure he has become too beguiled Persuaded by her charms to take her up the aisle. Now he lives in misguided bliss But deep down he knows something is a amiss Invites Strags to come and reminisce In comfy chairs they sit and discuss his analy-sis Philosophical musings over fine cognac and cigars But Xongs so on the fence he has splinters in his arse Puts himself at 5.7 on the Dawkins scale. Not just sittin on the fence, he’s frikkin impaled! His beloved anal Emma tries to lift him off but fails. Ouch! He’s slippin!! He doesn’t like the look of those nails. The colours gone. He’s looking pale. Slips further down. Only adds to his travails. But what’s that distant noise I hear?Horses hooves and a hearty cheer. It’s RAZD and his cheering sidekick Chuck Here to rescue Xong? To change his luck? RAZ - The knight in shining armour Chuck is waving pom pons and wearing batgirl pyjamas Rushing forth to save their fallen comrade Better be quick. Xong’s splintered buttocks are looking increasingly frayed Hold on dear brother cries the mighty ZenI’ll rewrite the scales. I’ll redefine my charts.......Again!! That’ll teach those evil pseudoskeptics. And then we can treat your splinter wounds with anti-sceptic. He charges forth. Keyboard in hand. Chuck waves his pom pons does the splits and lands. Gimme an R. Gimme an A. Gimme a Zed. Gimme a Dee. RAZ is on yet another diagram spree!! So many circles drawn with glee. An inarguable ability. If only they had any effect on his argument's validity. But they don't - Unfortu-nately. Chuck does a twirl and yells (girly voice) "Go RAZ Go" (manly voice) Teach those atheistic motherfuckers what it means to KNOOOOWWW Strags, bluegenes Mod, Panda and all the rest.Stand their ground. Unimpressed. Strags cannot hide his mirth at the ridiculous manner in which Chuck is dressed All of these colourful arguments they have already addressed To these diagramatic tricks they are immune. The gang of four. And the atheist platoon. Panda fires his ant-buffoon harpoon. Chuck falls on his pom pons like a clueless goon Strags takes aim and shoots the Hogwarts hypothesis RAZ says "Stand back I know how to deal with this" He turns and runs away. It follows him but he ducks and sways. His dodging abilities do amaze. Ultimately the question he does rephrase. Setting his charts and scales all ablaze. RAZ says - "I know let's start anew. Then I can draw new charts and diagrams to convince all of you!!" Panda asks if he likes jam or cheese. RAZ replies that he's already told him it's all about tea. Mod raises an eyebrow at this lack of epistemology. Bluegenes head in hand asks Why can't you see? That baseless propositions have no effect on my theo-ry But Xong is in no fit shape To consider the finer points of this intellectual rape That impaling point is starting to gape He is in desperate need of an escape "Here" says Mod "Let me help". Xong takes his hand with a yelp. Let us cure you of you nought point three agnosticism With an education in fallibilism Pragmatism and coherentism too. Slowly Xong changes his view. And with each revelation his frayed buttocks are treated to alleviation of the pain caused by impalation. Eventually he reaches the point of intellectual resuscitation Well on the way to full salvation. The light has dawned and all is well Finally broken away from RAZ's spell Now Xong and I are in HeathrowSharing a beer and discussing his bro Will this dispute ever end? Will it drive Percy round the bend? I don't know and nor do you But Xongsmith will remember those splinters everytime he poos The moral of this story - Is that enforced agnosticism is bad for your health. Just say no.
