c'est nouveau, c'est chic
Oct. 20th, 2008 11:41 pmOnce upon a time the merry e-mail group of artists and authors, The Spammers, of which I'm proud to be a part, started spouting . . . well, poetry might not be the precise word to choose, but there were moments of rhyme and moments of scansion, and, since the subject matter was the vicissitudes of the Bush Adbodgistration, we laughed a lot even if there were moments of which Tennyson might not have boasted.
In due course, I created on the discussion board I had at the time (thanks to Andy Cox of The Third Alterntive) a section called "The Tom DeLay Poesy Korner" where various of The Spammers -- and a refreshing number of others -- posted joyously silly verse/limericks/verse parodies/stuff. Unfortunately, Andy decided to abolish the TTA boards as they then were,and so all this stuff was lost.
Recently that poetastic croc has started raising its head from The Spammers' gray and greasy Limpopo once more, and so I've created a new LJ community, called the same as the old but referable to in the form
![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif){kind=small}
tomdelaypoesy .Please join!
Please contribute your verse, however, er, differently good it might be. Even if you don't want to rock the pote, please join so you can see other people dazzling with their poetic wit/making fools of themselves. It's up to you whether this is fun or not. (I lie. Whatever you do, The Spammers will still have a lot of fun with this.)
For obvious reasons (wingnut trolls) it's a moderated community, but I'll clear people/postings immediately I know they're okay. There are maybe three (last time I looked) verses there; do feel free to add, or just to comment.
