Nothing makes me feel more powerful...well, almost nothing
In American Beauty (the film), realtor Buddy Kane tells Carolyn Burnham that when he's feeling frustrated, he goes to a shooting range and pops off a few rounds because nothing makes him feel so powerful.
I'm almost exactly the same (well, except for the guns thing obviously). When I feel like that, I sometimes write a poem- not quite so macho but it works for me. Thinking about my post from yesterday, I wrote a sonnet. It's not great but it does have the required rhyme scheme, rough syllable count and just for fun there's a little acrostic surprise in there too (you have to work at finding the first letter due to spacing here). Only Whovians will get it all.
A Prescription From the Doctor
The Doctor, a strange madman in a box.
It’s bigger inside than out, locked with a key,
Moves through time but does not age- the great paradox.
Empty are the children, who want you to see,
You must avoid daleks – these you should fear,
Where scary monsters have bigger teeth than Rose.
Into parties? A banana is always a good idea.
Married? To River Song we suppose.
Even Vincent has an accent like Miss Pond.
You should avoid the Library if reading is your hobby.
In fact a screwdriver replaces a magic wand.
Do run from Angels (not that song by Robbie).
Expect to meet Sontarens, looking like Christmas pud. We’re
All just stories, so make sure yours is good.
