If Old Fart the label I take
Then please give this fart a small break.
Whilst given a label,
I'll do what I'm able,
to never be labelled a fake.

Hendrik, I'm not an old fart,
I am more than just young at heart,
In fact, can't you see,
that I'm really not twee,
Unlike this stupid rhyme which I can't make ryme with anything....

Happy now?

I thought I had better just say
years ago I was in Mid A
when at CH I loved my sport
but if naughty I always got caught
and sent to Clarrie or David Hay

IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢m sure that in distant times past,
There was always one guy in the class
Who could make verses rhyme
Each and every time
But I really couldnÃ¢â‚¬â„¢t be arsed.

re the old bogs:

The old bogs in art quad were rank,
all Old Blues agree that they stank.
A lamentable flaw,
was the lacking of doors,
just to stop people having a wa........ 'Barclays', as I have heard it described.

It seems quite a comment somehow
That the thread that's most active right now
Is about drunken states
That old pupils relate
Lots of sorrows to drown I would vow.

Is it right that I sense an unease
At this Forum, by those hard to please
Whose task to maintain
The Foundation's good name
Is not easy in times such as these?

Dave

If your verse was inspired by my own
Which appeared to you just as a moan
I really don't mind
And have no axe to grind
I just wondered about the booze prone.

(And now there are as many posts on this thread as on theirs

)

The thread re 'the needy" 's confused
About how pupils can be refused
When some who have clout
Or can lay the cash out
Can all regular rules be excused.

The outlook would be loads more sunny,
if the school weren't so so sh!t with its money.
Though we rant and we curse,
no amount of good verse,
will make a topic like 'Need' very funny.

Hendrick
Well if that's meant to be a criticism of my posting on that thread, you're being a bit judgemental and not very perceptive. Limericks aren't all 'funny' funny. My limerick about need criteria was as much a critical comment of the process as yours.

Ever heard of irony? Satire?
But I'm glad you put something on the thread anyway.

Hendrik · Post by **Hendrik** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:20 pm

nope. nope. and nope.

very defensive of this thread aren't we?

helen · Post by **helen** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 6:42 pm

How did you guess? And so quick!

Being defensive is something I learned
At CH, for wherever we turned
there was something we did
That a rule would forbid
And objections were generally spurned.

And besides, it's a good thread! So keep on posting.

Hendrik · Post by **Hendrik** » Mon Jun 06, 2005 8:02 pm

I agree with your point about rules,
they must surely have been written by fools!
For if more rules you make,
there are just more to break;
so surely the fault was the school's

Dear Helen,

There once was a time
When you scolded Great Plum for his line.
Now YOU follow his lead
In paying no heed
To the need to keep it in rhyme.
