Arrgh ... this is where it's headed, isn't it? No more poems about noble endeavor or romantic obsession. If it's not rap, it's not hip.
"Quill The Rapper."
Hmmm ... I may need to invest in some fake jewelry, put on 100 lbs and grow a goatee.

You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
Maybe a quil rap will get me writing again.
Will you perform it on D tube if I write it for you? It could be a sensation?
BTW, this is from a show that runs on the government funded TV station ABC, Australian broadcasting Corp kids channel . They have many great BBC, US and Canadian shows too.
Degrasi, sesame st, the wiggles started out there.
Oh! Showing my age but.... You would remember, "You can't do that on television ", Canadian gold!.... They delivered me that too.
Tax funded educational TV.
The ABC probably made the mermaid thing miss K was into.
@girlbeforemirror,
There are very few things I wouldn't consider doing if it meant generating a laugh. You have, however, identified one of those very few things. I possess a haughty sense of humor and rapping doesn't quite comport.
Moreover, my mind reels in trepidation, if not outright dread, when imagining what kind of lyrics Marg would cook up. You see, I have more than a passing familiarity with YOUR sense of humor ... and the sirens are sounding as if an air raid was imminent.
Admittedly, this stinks of cowardice on my part but I'd be willing to bet that anyone who has known you for more than a month would similarly, and hastily, decline. Though notoriously immune to humiliation, my male ego is sufficiently self-aware to recognize that, in this instance at least, discretion is the better part of valor. :-)

A bit naughty on my part. I should not ask you to do something I myself would never do.
I woke at 2 am, checked my phone for the time, saw you had replied, I wrote that comment and went back to sleep. 😂 I hardly remember it.
Maybe I would do it if I wore a big head Mr bungle style. I considered an open mic with a mask on, but if I had a day job I would remind myself of my limited talent. My mum tells me I have a lovely voice, my dad is more honest - Face for radio, voice for print.
@girlbeforemirror,
Marg, that line is hilarious ... and linguistically profound. Mark Twain level wit. And remember, it's quotes that sell stories. It will be stored for future quotation.
You are a fountain of such gems ... which is why I keep nagging you to write. This is your gift ... and respecting said gift, you have few equals.
Admittedly, the EDS makes it hard to focus for a period sufficient to showcase it ... and THAT is your challenge. On-off, on-off until the project is complete. Not easy ... but easy is no longer a luxury you may expect.
I am not wrong about you, Marg. You belong at the head of the table.
