The Kintyre Forum Poem ( First line)

[Martin]

Horse, is your last offering one of your own or lyrics ?

[Govangirl]

Martin, I've read enough of his stuff to recognise it's his own. He's getting better isn't he, seeing as how both of us recently have had to question the source? His nag's head will be getting bigger now though!!!!

[A Horse called Juan Face]

Aye, mine.

[Martin]

I like it.

That auld paint tin
rust particles colonise - eating up
a real green machine - chump chump
makes ma brain water
amidst thon dry skin
gone yerself wee particle
gone yerself.

[ionnsaigh]

Blinded by thon high light
a common bond tae weave
a sense in common - takes it leave
Thatcher Queen - wee Jessy fae the Gallowgate
sisters true an true
but remember this - remember well
sisterhood without brother
sex gender fascists - born in hell.

[ionnsaigh]

People like the lapping tide
swell deplete - come and go
pulled along - futile to resist
the natural pull - of natures law
some will stawn - some will faw
in the natural pull o natures law.

It was a very strange experience
In the toilet of the Ardshiel Inn
For it said on the door
"Please don't pee on the floor"
So I had to carefully pee on the cieling.

[Govangirl]

cieling.

Hugh,
For you
I'm humbly coveying
This well-known saying:

i before e, except after c

[dalintober lad]

SO what about species, science, sufficient, ancient (where ie follows c) or seize, weird, sovereignty, vein, feisty, kaleidoscope and neighbour (where ei is not preceded by c).

[Govangirl]

That's not a poem, Dalintober Lad
Or if it is, it's very bad!

When the sound is ee
it's i before e
except after c

I think there must have been misconceptions
You must accept there are always exceptions
It's just that, you see
We live in a weird society!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Does it come from “ciel”?, or am I all to Hell?
As that means the sky, if I don’t tell a lie,
When I studied French, sitting on the school bench.
If that is the case why don’t we that embrace,
That the I before E is the way it should be.
And if it’s been changed, then our spelling’s deranged,
What’s the point of reversal? It’s just controversial.

EMDEE,change your name to EMCEE
that sounds like a rap
to me

Do you know how it is when you have a desperate urge to write something but nothing comes together ? .

No, I don't bother writing until it's ready to come out. That plus I'm very lazy.
