I can out-thou you

[engelbert]

In thy whispers

Trapped beneath my pillow

Thee won't let me see

Thy memories
And I know thou art in this room

I'm sure I heard thee sigh

Frozen in between

Where our worlds collide

Scares the hell out of me

And the end is all I can see

And it scares the hell out of me

And the end is all I can see



Yeah yeah yeah...



And I know the moment's near

And there's nothing thee canst do

Look for thy faith inside

Art thou afraid to die?



It scares the hell out of me

And the end is all I can see

And it scares the hell out of me

And the end is all I can see



Yeah yeah yeah...



It scares the hell out of me

And the end is all I can see

And it scares the hell out of me

And the end is all I can see



Yeah yeah yeah...

[Zachariah]

Whassis? Some kinda rapbattle?

[engelbert]

Yeah! But old-school.

Real old school.

[Zachariah]

I memorized 'La Tribu de Dana' a while ago. Then I forgot it.

[engelbert]

awww

I wanted to learn The Jabberwocky off by heart... but i can never manage it for more than 10 minutes.

[Zachariah]

I memorized the Jabberwocky.

[zianorak]

In Offish thought he stood, the Jabberwock.
With eyes of flame...

I know the song not the poem, but it's close.

[engelbert]

Only poems i ever could remember were these and they aren't even the whole of the poems:

Yesterday upon the stair,
i met a man who wasn't there,
he wasn't there again today,
I wish, i wish he'd go away.

----

My love is like a red red rose,
she's wilting by the hour.
It make's no sense to fall in love
With someone like a flower.

[Zachariah]

Yesterday upon the stair is my favorite.

[zianorak]

Yeah I don't know those, I'm really bad with poetry...
Unless I write it by myself, and even then it sounds forced...*points to my attempt on the poetry board*

[engelbert]

For your benefit here's The Little Man Who Wasn't There in full:

Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away...


When I came home last night at three
The man was waiting there for me
But when I looked around the hall
I couldn't see him there at all!
Go away, go away, don't you come back any more!
Go away, go away, and please don't slam the door... (slam!)


Last night I saw upon the stair
A little man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
Oh, how I wish he'd go away!

By William Hughes Mearns. He also wrote:

As I was sitting in my chair,
I knew the bottom wasn't there,
Nor legs nor back, but I just sat,
Ignoring little things like that.

Which is also a cute little verse.

And also the timeless Jabberwocky:

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
