Shit! WOL's Raining Rhymers

 

Shit! WOL's raining rhymers

Soaking all our screens

Suddenly from out the sky

Emerged from sight unseen

 

They're not all comic silly-like

Nor into doom and gloom

They're multiskilled in all genres

For which WOL makes much room

 

When as newbie rhymer

I first did enter WOL

An old hand welcomed me and said

“We need new blood. We're old”

 

I always have remembered this

And likewise I will say

Welcome you new rhymers

(We need new blood. Still old...)

 

I must however warn you lot

About WOL's Thought Police

They spider round, well out of sight

Ensuring we stay nice

 

OK you'll get away with 'shit'

But on the edge with 'fuck'

But don't go tempting fate with c____

You could just come unstuck

 

The other day I got a shock

A usual prosing writer

Suddenly broke out in rhyme

With lines of 'fuck' (nail-biter)

 

So newbies listen up, you can

Use shit and fuck, feel free

But treading coals with c____ word?

Use 'can't' so carefully

 

(Don't listen to him. He's just a stirrer.....)

 

A newbie has already

Tainted me, has she

Expletives in her poem put

She's now encouraged me

 

Shit!
