cornerstone Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Nanuq and Miss Understood Posting so closely in time, I wonder if they're not one and the same Even if their names don't rhyme. :-) Does this make the number of entries 4? I think it counts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 Okay, I've made an effort to make up the numbers here! Hopefully there are no glaring typos! "TIMELINE OF A MINE DISASTER: TEN DAYS IN BEACONSFIELD, TASMANIA" Phone call at ten, three miners are dead, But it's in Tassie, we'll just send down Ed. Press release Sunday, not dead only trapped Message to me, your week off's been scrapped. Newsroom's gone mental, “get on a plane!” Goes without saying, can't take a train. Day one is boring, miners still stuck, Mulling 'round Tassie, dumb out of luck. 'Beckon' or 'Beacon', chewing the fat, Nothing to do, but shiver and chat. Newsroom to laptop, “what is the rub?” “Shh,” I say thinking 'PO or Sub?” Day two is worse, even less news, Tap up some local, suss out their views. News people restless, let's make something up No sod will notice, let's sell them a pup Day three, four, five, news people itchy, Some of the anchors, decidedly bitchy “We'll get them out safely,” the manager whines, Just get 'em out quickly, we're fed up of mines. Not much to do, but stare at my watch, That guy in the hat, is that David Koch? Now May the sixth, still metres away, Looks like we're staying, just one more day. Next day no further, we no longer care, Just spare a thought, for the news anchor's hair. Carleton collapses, “cameras away!” No such thought, for the rest of our prey. “It's harder than concrete, tougher than stone,” But we haven't got news, we continue to moan. “Just blow them up! Just give it some thought!” Just think of the headline - 'Family Distraught'. Suddenly they're out, in the lorry jumps Koch, If we pay enough money, will the audience watch? Chequebook journos, not much to admire, Glance over the bar, is that Eddie McGuire?! Cornerstone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnkaz Posted June 10, 2006 Report Share Posted June 10, 2006 There is a young lady called Miss understood Ask her a question she's really quite good She's clever and kind And I think you'll all find She's open and honest no stick in the mud. Cheers Johnkaz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers Johnkaz. Johnkaz, if you'll permit me, I'd like to suggest making the last line rhyme with the first two - gives a more resounding ending to your admirable ode to our fascinating Miss Understood Were it mine, I might have said something like, 'She's open and honest...and....' well, it's up to you or someone else to find the ending rhyme.... Not easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB Posted June 11, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 Just a quick heads up folks, we have a little over 4 days left in what's been a 2 week comp and we are still 6 entries short of awarding all the prizes. They better start pouring in soon Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted June 11, 2006 Report Share Posted June 11, 2006 The intruder continued, determined, brainless...but not headless It nestled against its intention, pushing but not yet trembling, impatient...yet slowly Millimetre by millimetre ceasing from sight ... no longer superficial but deep and approaching bliss g.

Craytonic Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Wow this is the worst crap ever, hopefully someone gets a laugh at my pitiful attempt: Titled: An ode to my sub.
