RIP, Steven. You went out meaningfully.

What's that, the Lounge you say?
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

But then, it would have to start "Eenie meanie minee groat..." in order to still rhyme!

Mine would be this one:
Le coq et la poule, P. Desproges[^]
(sorry for non french members, I would have a terrible time to translate that )
Here's one (very quick and dirty) attempt, though:
Hen one morning went to find the c**k
And said: "My friend I long to you.
My libido is annoyed and it is not the seal
With its little crazy and too soft look
That could soothe my spring enthusiasm. "
C**k a little surprised tone of the preamble
Says : " But what then! Here are some ways!
To what end is it that we cornered me!
I know that if this little hen heat
Here she invites me to trudge ! "
Having said he complied but without fervor,
Climbed fury for coconiquer ,
But without enthusiasm and without any more enthusiasm
That puts to piss when you do not want to.
It was beautiful revise one by one her fantasies
By stirring at best on the job, nothing helped .
"Well what? " Says soon casserole that frustrates
And sees her orgasm postponed again
Random uncertain another c**k horny
" For I am cuddly enough gallinaceous
My ass is chicken, I frivolous rump
And now I sue under this pedant to the colorful tail
That labors in vain me while I wilts ! "
When turning a little, she begged Sing Clerc
Him drop feathers and stop its swell.
The rooster was comforted : "I no longer fear the winter
I picked up a jacket foot chicken . "

A highwayman, a raven, and a walrus walk into The Carpenter's Arms...
Some men are born mediocre, some men achieve mediocrity, and some men have mediocrity thrust upon them.

And the bartender asks: "Is this some kind of joke?"

And the barman says "We have a whiskey named after you! why the long face"
And the Walrus says goo-goo-ga-joob.
The raven just sits there, looking for all the world like a writing desk.
And the Highwayman sang "Two Piss, two Piss, two Pistols at my side..."
And fought for the old country.

Yes. I just read the 3 links and very much enjoyed them.
I have read them all before but not for a long time.
So Thanks
I did teach one of my sons when he was about 3 years old to recite the following:
Quote: 'The time has come,' the Walrus said,
'To talk of many things:
Of shoes - and ships - and sealing-wax -
Of cabbages - and kings -
And why the sea is boiling hot -
And whether pigs have wings.'
Just after he got it committed to memory, we went out to an Indian Restaurant for dinner.
They had these Indian motifs or mobiles hanging from the ceiling.
There was one which was an elephant with wings and another which was pig with wings and another one which was a tiger with wings.
He got very excited and started shouting "Weather Pig... weather Elephant...weather Tiger."
He understood the last line of the quote above to be a statement of fact and not a question.
Lewis would have enjoyed that as well.
The highwayman has always been another favourite of mine.
The Highwayman doesn't walk into a bar. He walks into a Tavern.
The Raven would fly over the bar.
If the Walrus and the Carpenter walked into a bar, they would say "ouch", and do some serious crying together.
Thanks again _Maxxx_

OK, so it's not the most beautiful poem, but it's very deep!

One of favourites is an Llamados miners' lament:
"Gold.
Gold gold gold.
Gold gold?
Gold gold gold gold,
Gold gold gold.
Gold?
Gold gold gold!
Gold gold,
Gold gold gold gold
Gold gold gold..."
