Doggerel and Parodies

[David]

I can hardly keep desecrating Donne, Pound, and their ilk. So I started a new thread.

Cross-posted from "True North," a discussion of underground tunnels and such:

I feel chthonic
I feel chthonic
I feel chhtonic, laconic and cold
And I pity
Any mole that doesn't share my soul.

I feel moldy
I feel moldy
It's alarming how moldy I am
And so chthonic
I can hardly believe just how damp!

See the earthy man in that river there.
Who can that dank creature be?
Such a moldy face
Such an earthy shirt
Such a somber smile
I can hardly believe that it's me!

UPDATE: Corrected spelling to "chthonic."

A cross between Wind in the Willows and West Side Story?

[David]

Could be. There's a wonderful song, "Marry the Mole," by Carol Channing in an animated film not well known called "Thumbelina."

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

I have seen it......!!!

[Sigrid]

That just reminds me of the song "I feel pretty" :P
what exactly is the point of this game..?

[Ken]

Is it a game? Who's on first? And who let the catterel out?

[Carol]

There a catalogue for all the catterel and a dogalogue for all the dogma.

Main Entry: chthon·ic
Pronunciation: \ˈthä-nik\

[Carol]

I am still not sure how the ä is pronounced.

[Ruth]

It means comes from the Greek. Ancient Greek χθών (khthōn), “‘ground’”

[Ken]

And it's pronounced like so (listen up!):

[Ken]

thr-oh.

[Ruth]

The big end of > < points towards the larger number.

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

5>3
4<19

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

The world would stop spinning if they went the same way!!
Just remember that the less than sign (<) looks like a wonky capital L (for Less).....or that the bigger number goes at the bigger end. And 4>19 is just wrong!

[Debbie, sardonic princess of cheerfulness]

You were about to stab NE.....

[Ken]

I got the point. Gab's words are always direct and incisive when she's agitated. I'm typically the bull with the eye.

[Carol]

Magnetic appeal,apple of your eye Miss W. Tell.

[Carol]

Gabi , no it is my son's. She is adorable. She is 2years old and still not very big. Her name is Isabella.
