So Gwen has been the first to guess -

- at the man of Latin letter,

Well Robinhood might be quite good,

But believe me, I am better!

 

Now RogerC is a military man,

Whose posting style just doesn't suit me,

I think I might just have to buy him a drink,

Or else he might try to shoot me!

 

I see Donna Miller's back on the board,

I believe she may be a trucker,

Her Avatar may be misleading to some,

Who've said that they'd like to meet her.

Which they did, and to their surprise.

She looked like an east end docker.

(sorry) :$

 

:D

 

2 Demerits Peter.

 

"Hooker" would have been so much better than "docker".

 

;-)

Flattered am I to be so described

As a lady of culture and class,

But not to be twinned with Frankie, please,

On that I'd prefer to pass.

 

A. Dent is not me I assure you:

Rhyming verses pose quite a strain,

If writing more than three or four

It rather taxes one's brain.

 

And Robinhood it's not to be:

So it's back to the guessing game.

Another suspect springs to mind:

Mr Kirby is his name.

 

Signed,

Ford Prefect again

"My apologies Trillian!"

I have to say Rich this thread has become thrilling

So who's next on the agenda

As the guilty member?

 

He's clearly not shy

As he pops up and say's its not I

Who can it be??????

Surely not HE 8-)...............

Dave, I 'm so sorry

I don't think it's Frank

I kinda would worry

If he played that prank

 

but if it were he

much ruder our fates

to both you and me

and others he hates

 

I don't think our poet

hates anyone here

if they did we would know it

as it would be clear.

I doubt its Frank too

Due to the lack of do do

It seem's Arthur's been here

Lurking for many a year.........

 

It makes one wonder

If he once made a blunder

Was he once banished?

I'm sure I'd notice such a wit vanish............

 

He's clever this fella

With the use of the letter

Although I detected a hint of smut

When he mentioned Donna's avatar... tut tut ............

 

So is Mr Dent

Here to repent?

Give us a clue dude

I don't mind if its rude....... :D

Will Bolero Boy have to change his name,

Now he's getting a Carthago?

Meanwhile, Tracker's reverted to type,

And Stuart's now not far to go*.

 

(*see above)

 

The forum staff have done us proud,

For despite their occupation,

It would appear that they've allowed,

Everything in moderation.

 

'Twas Christmas Day on the forum,

And rhyming was getting tough,

I think we'll have to leave it there,

'Cos Arthur's had enough...................

A new virus stalks the forum

It starts with a rash, or irritation

Then the patients go down with doggerel

Or a severe case of alliteration.

 

I fear that there is no known cure

It's destined to run its course

Each day brings another Wordsworth

Each day it builds its force.

 

I intend to lock myself indoors

Until the worst is over

God protect me from this painful plague

I think I'd rather catch Ebola.

Arthur ...

 

Your ideas are good so I give you 6/10 for humour but they're not saleable as they don't flow off the tongue easily in a lilting rhythm.

 

Will

 

 

Aaaaaah the lilting rhythm ;-)

 

You have a point Will

But is Arthur part of an O&L schism? 8-)

 

He just appeared ;-) .......

Is that not a bit weird?.........

 

I'm wondering if our editor

Is a bit of a predictor ;-)

 

Much like myself

A naughty Elf (lol) .........

You have to read them so they do!!!

By his own confession Will85

isn't quite what he seems.

His alter ego, Mr T,

Sails in submarines.

 

It seems the Royal Navy has,

(though only recent-ish),

Resolved to allow the fairer sex

to sail in it's tin fish.

 

So the former inspection call,

"Ladies, stand by your beds!",

Is now used as a warning when...

...Mr T goes to "the heads".

Oh Arthur dear you are so cute

you've spotted I was based in Bute

although when there as Mrs T

my home was far, at east Dundee.

 

Oh Arthur dear you are so cute

I trust you dress with natty suit

and me so suave in scanty dress

with glass in hand, full shapeliness.

 

Oh Arthur dear you are so cute

well blessed I'm sure with neat cheroot.

My picture's lost I'm sad to say

pray sent it back without delay.

 

Oh Arthur dear you are so cute

with poems true you're quite a hoot

and Mrs T she's past her prime

retired at last, her wrinkles shine.

 

Oh Arthur dear you are so cute

is this the end for one astute.

Young Peltman's gone to Costa del Dumb

so I'll jigger off before I succumb.

Archiesgrandad likes to watch,

"Strictly" on TV.

He doesn't seem to understand,

It's not reality.

 

Pelmetman has reached his goal,

Camping in Iberia,

The mods must have misheard HE's call,

"Exile him to Siberia!".

 

The expected Forum Christmas truce,

Isn't going quite as planned,

Some of the usual suspects,

Are kicking Kirby round No Man's Land!

 

Many don't seem to understand,

The outright irony,

Of continually attacking Frank,

For "a different view to me!".

 

As for the other's poetry,

It's neither Keats or Shelley,

It's hardly worth me logging on,

I'd rather watch the telly!

The forum poet reveals another rhyming ditty

Like a child's soiled nappy I thought quite .......

Like Christmas turkey which goes on forever

Please no more not now not ever !

 

In a just a minute t'will be New Year's Day

And with it forum peace may stay ?

What's that the masses scream and pray

Of course , if Fwankie Panky stays away
