Dunno. Don't you have to expect eventually to lose possession of that fair thou ow'st?

Who stole my dictionary?

Want to bet that Death shall not brag thou wander'st in his shade?

I prefer Douglas Adams, who wrote about Vogon Poetry. I'd post something like it but my large intestine might jump up through my body and throttle my brain to stop it.

When in eternal lines to time thou grow'st, will you remember your old maths teacher and what they said about parallels and infinity?

Can men still breath, and can eyes still see?

Will this live long? And give life to another such monster?

pdurrant · 08-31-2019, 05:10 PM

Is this the end?

doubleshuffle · 08-31-2019, 05:19 PM

Of our elaborate plans, the end?

VOGON POETRY

The Wilting Rose

I lay here wilting away
For the sun no longer shines on me,
The clouds don't offer shade,
The rain no longer cleanses me--
Cleansing the pain away.
Only darkness is my companion,
Nothingness my shrine.

The end?

Is that your translation of the Vogonish original?

trichobezoar · 09-01-2019, 05:54 AM

It's the homo sapien equivalent to Vogon poetry? I call it Poema Poematis.

Pizza_Cant_Read · 09-01-2019, 11:20 AM

Is a question of equivalence possible if the answer will be subjective?

I have a few more Vogonish poems--they're much more excruciating. Wanna see them?
