Goth Poetry

[tablesaw]

An odd meme has been going around among kissaki and her slashfic friends about Goth haiku. This is fun so far as it goes, but joke haiku is for wussies.

Now here are some limericks lyrical
About subjects dark and vampirical
They may involve Magick,
But they aren't too tragic.
In fact, they are rather satirical.

A young Anne Rice fan was ecstatic
And watched TV in the west attic
Because a friend told her
An antenna holder
Would help the girl to get "Lestatic".

The Vampyres rejected a Goth
Who'd draped herself all in black cloth.
She was built like a wisp,
But she had a bad lisp.
She left saying, "Hey, it's your loth."

The Potter-slash Goths are much worse, see.
They always use words that sound curse-y.
They hate Sleater-Kinney
And cloned little Ginny
To listen to "Sisters of Percy."

Maybe I'll try some Goth clerihew next.

haha, that's just brilliant! I think I laughed the most at the "lestatic" line. ;)

[tablesaw]

Yay! I'm really proud of that one.

That cad tablesaw
just had to go one better.
Fie on his crosswords.

Felt quite a bit less cocky
When the Goth dressed completely in sable saw

Yo, tablesaw, you think you're funny,
And yet, you don't make any money
From your quick limericks,
Written solely for kicks,
Why don't you try villanelle, honey.

phatgirlfics
Developed serious tics
When she read Tablesaw's swell
Villanelle.

Responded with a clerihew with a link to a villanelle. How funny.
