Hello dearest M/T/Sers,

My earthquake brain is too frazzled to write, so I ended up browsing the boards instead. I can't believe I never saw this thread before!

Just for funsies, I decided to write a poem about us here on the MTS board, so we can bask in the glow of our fabulousness. It's not finished, so please feel free to add on stanzas!

I am in total awe! That was splendiferous! :D

This is a great thread. (I also can't believe I didn't notice it before.)




Last night I killed my wife
And laid her on the parquet flooring.
I was loath to take her life
But I had to stop her snoring.


^This is not original. I came across it years and years ago and can't remember who wrote it - it might be one of the Ogden Nash nonsense rhymes, I'm not sure.

I'll see if I can come up with something original for you.:)

Okay, so let's see what ya got.
Is it murder and mayhem and plot?
Is there rage on that page,
Or is it cyber and sage?
What're you cooking in yer M/T/S pot?


A bit lame, I know. But I thought this thread deserved a bump. :)

This is an interesting thread - wonder if anyone has tried to get one of these published?

There once was a killer Named Finn
who loved giving a Glasgow grin
he was caught by a cop
only then did he stop
now he's stuck in the Pen.

I'm combining MTS with Halloween (coming soon Bha-ha-ha-ha)

Impaled on a pole
the severed head
began to speak;

beware, it said
you will dread
the havoc I will reek.

Thunder rolled
in darkened skies
and lightning struck the souls

that severed the head
of the immortal Scot
and the day was dark and cold.

Justice was swift
for soon the killers
were struck with true remorse

but to hell they went
in fire they burned
and murder will out, of course.
