It was
an experiment in human kind,
or so they told us.
But instead, merely an exercise we find
in the daily practice
of basic greed and carnal avarice.
And without love and truth and kindness,
the formula is lacking.
So we are left to observe
only the nature of
secretive planning and hateful scheming and
the shameless execution of the lie.

Bumping...
Bo, that's a hard act to follow! I think you've scared us all off!
[I also think it's excellent, by the way. :-)]

Please rest you merry gentlefolk,
Let nothing you dismay.
For Arnold's crew is toiling
To keep interest in the game,
And save you all from boredom's grip
When strategies go astray.
Oh tidings of comfort and joy,
But not for all,
Live feeds reveal it's all a lot of bull.

Musings on Big Brother 4

I dreamt we were all telepathic,
And could understand without words.
Speech was just so much static,
So talking was for the birds.

No more misunderstandings,
It was empathy all down the line.
No need to have armies handy,
For war just died on the vine.

You'd think that we'd all be ecstatic,
As an assemblage of unified man,
But it all became rather erratic,
Because war erupted again.

It's not really that much of a riddle,
It was simply my silly mistake.
There's only so much boring drivel,
That the human mind can take!

Self expression


Just a brief nudge
To prevent this short thread,
From falling over the edge of the world.

There will be few rhymes,
Nor scansion of lines,
Just the bump, or if you like, a boost.

It's obvious to me
That we'll rarely agree,
On what poetry is or is not.

But where Big Bro is concerned
We have all fairly earned,
The right to deep critical thought.

It's fun to play 'Boring,'
And very easy to 'Complain,'
But I prefer 'Blank Verse' over most.
