AngeliqueMinogue Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind, long years numberless as the wings of trees! The years have passed like swift draughts of the sweet mead in lofty halls beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda wherein the stars tremble in the song of her voice, holy and queenly. Who now shall refill the cup for me? For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the Stars, from Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds, and all paths are drowned deep in shadow; and out of a grey country darkness lies on the foaming waves between us, and mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever. Now lost, lost to those from the East is Valimar! Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar. Maybe even thou shalt find it. Farewell! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amina Sopwith Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A certain young man from Bombay Caught the slow boat to China one day. He was pinned to the tiller By a sex-starved gorilla - And China's a bloody long way. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginger Shostakovich Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A mighty creature is the germ, Though smaller than the pachyderm. His customary dwelling place Is deep within the human race. His childish pride he often pleases By giving people strange diseases. Do you, my poppet, feel infirm? You probably contain a germ. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maitimo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 I lúme utúlie, A tirno Silmarillion, Tienna narwa No rocco néca, Yan i esse ná Qualme, - Wilie haiyave Númenna Wisto, Ardallo melima. Vainolelya unqua Ar macilya rusta Loráva nenessen I caituvar ńalle. Ve laurea anna, Hroalya racina Antalye nóren Sa varyane li. Ná carna nilmonen Tyarda avatyarima, An nar cotumor qualini, Naina, Valariande, An i calwo ná firin, Ar elenu vinye Úsiluvar eldain. Nán i Raice na cuine. (Translation) Hour has come, O guard of Silmarils, Onto road fiery-red On a pale horse, Whose name is Death - To fly far, To the West of the Sky, From dear Arda. Your empty sheath And broken sword Will sleep in the waters, That will cover the dale. Like a golden gift, Your broken body Are you giving to lands That you were protecting. Is made by friend Unmakable deed, For foes are dead, But Marring is alive. Weep, Beleriand, For the hero is dead, And two new stars Will not shine for Eldar.

kathyparnes1 Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 There was a young man from leeds, who swollowed a packet of seeds, great clumps of grass grew out of his a***, and his dingle was covered in weeds! 2 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitimo Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 There once was a limerick-writer Who said "Well, my rhymes could be tighter. When I'm stuck for a word They just get absurd And they end up not rhyming at all". 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fionalein Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 Some Ænglisc riddle poetry: Min heafod is homere geþuren searopila wund sworfen feole oft ic begine þæt me ongean sticað þōn ic hnitan sceal hringum gyrded hearde wið heardū hindan þyrel forð ascufan þæt mīnes frean mod · ᚹ · freoþað middel nihtum · hwilum ic under bæc bregde · nebbe · hyrde þæs hordes þōn min hlaford wile lafe þicgan þara þe he of life het wælcræf awrecan willū sinū Translation by P.F. Baum My head is forged with the hammer, hurt with sharp tools, smoothed by files. I take in my mouth what is set before me when girded with rings I am forced to strike, hard against hard, pierced from behind, must draw forth what protects at midnight the heart’s delight of my own lord. Sometimes I turn backwards my beak, when, protector of treasure, my lord wishes to hold the leavings of those he had driven from life by battle-craft for his own desire. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some idots established "schizophrenia" as synonymous with multiple personality disorder in the common public awareness (globaly - it exists in more than one language) though. It's hard to get rid of that misuse of the term now... Edited January 16, 2019 by Fionalein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christhiana Posted January 16, 2019 Share Posted January 16, 2019 I mean no offense with the rhyme. It's just that, an old rhyme... and yes I know the difference between schizophrenia and multiple personality disorder. The person I heard the rhyme of has multiple personality disorder.

It;s simply very bad taste. It's your right to find it in bad taste. I differentiate between insult and humor. I don't see how this is at 'cost' of a serious health issue. I have an autism spectrum disorder myself. I can laugh at jokes about autism. Some people can't. I guess it is different for everyone as to what they consider humor. I have my own limits as to what I find funny just as you. They just differ. Like I said, I didn't mean to offend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
