OOC ....

I just got this letter from someone who can identify zirself if zie wants. I'm pretty sure I'm allowed to post it...

Dear Bard,

It is late. My brain is toasty from trying to plan two Beltane rituals for this weekend. I decided that I need to relax. Poetry relaxes me.

Don't say you didn't ask for it. Okay, *you* didn't, one of your readers did, but it's still your world and I don't have their email address. So you get it anyhow.

There Was A Young Zi Ri




There was a young Zi Ri who slept with a spy.
Now I don’t know why zie slept with a spy;
Perhaps zie’ll die.

There was a young Zi Ri who slept with an Orren
Who wriggled and tickled and never was boring;
Zie slept with the Orren to forget the spy.
Now I don’t know why zie slept with a spy;
Perhaps zie’ll die.

There was a young Zi Ri who slept with some Cani.
How very clanny! To sleep with some Cani!
Zie slept with the Cani to forget the Orren
Who wriggled and tickled and never was boring;
Zie slept with the Orren to forget the spy.
Now I don’t know why zie slept with a spy;
Perhaps zie’ll die.

There was a young Zi Ri who slept with a Sleeth.
Imagine the teeth! Zie slept with a Sleeth!
Zie slept with the Sleeth to forget the Cani.
Zie slept with the Cani to forget the Orren
Who wriggled and tickled and never was boring;
Zie slept with the Orren to forget the spy.
Now I don’t know why zie slept with a spy;
Perhaps zie’ll die.

There was a young Zi Ri who slept with Khtsoyis.
Now that’s much amiss! To sleep with Khtsoyis!
Zie slept with Khtsoyis to forget the Sleeth.
Zie slept with the Sleeth to forget the Cani.
Zie slept with the Cani to forget the Orren
Who wriggled and tickled and never was boring;
Zie slept with the Orren to forget the spy.
Now I don’t know why zie slept with a spy;
Perhaps zie’ll die.

There was a young Zi Ri who slept with both-females.
All the rest pales! Beside both-females!
Zie slept with both-females to forget Khtsoyis.
Zie slept with Khtsoyis to forget the Sleeth.
Zie slept with the Sleeth to forget the Cani.
Zie slept with the Cani to forget the Orren
Who wriggled and tickled and never was boring;
Zie slept with the Orren to forget the spy.
Now I don’t know why zie slept with a spy;
Perhaps zie’ll die.

There was a young Zi Ri who tried Mentador;
I don’t know what for zie tried Mentador! Oh …
Zie tried Mentador to forget the both-females.
Zie slept with both-females to forget Khtsoyis.
Zie slept with Khtsoyis to forget the Sleeth.
Zie slept with the Sleeth to forget the Cani.
Zie slept with the Cani to forget the Orren
Who wriggled and tickled and never was boring;
Zie slept with the Orren to forget the spy.
Now I don’t know why zie slept with a spy;
Perhaps zie’ll die.

There was a young Zi Ri who doorwayed a Nendrai
(Under Mentador force) –
Zie’s dead, of course!

What an excellent poem! Very amusing.

What's more, I never expected to see "Khtsoyis" rhyme with anything, but apparently it can.

Oh dear. I'm the one who made the crack about the never-ending chain of unusual sexualities looking down on each other and comparing it to The Little Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly, aren't I? Oops. Sorry about that. Didn't quite expect this to come of it...

Hmm. I thought I had my e-mail public. Oh well.

See? You go to a Nendrai and ask them to turn your memories of all your past lovers now departed into scorpions that might sting you about the head, and thus lessen the pain, and they go and stab you in the back.

I am thoroughly impressed. And amused. :)

ROFL -- brilliant! ;)

I'm embarrassed to admit that when I saw the opening line to this, my initial assumption was that it was a limerick...
