A Quite Ridiculously Pointless Post.

[rionaleonhart]

For reasons of which I am not quite sure,
This is in iambic pentameter.
My slightly stupid choice of form aside,
I’m really craving Jack-slash-Ten right now
And I have also started on King Lear
(I think that I have just messed up that line –
Does Lear have one syllable or two?
And yes, I blame Shakespeare entirely for
Bizarreifying this LJ post’s form)
And also reading Arthur Conan Doyle
And Sherlock Holmes is such a Gary Stu.
I think I’d like to punch him in the face.

You may have guessed that I’m extremely bored
As I seem to have been these past few days.
I think, perhaps, to cure this sad affair,
I should try writing fanfic in this form.
However, I don’t think I could resist
Including, in whatever I should write,
The really quite fantastic final line:
‘Alas, he has been eaten by a squid.’
No, it is better that I stick to posts.
I’m sure that you will all agree with this.
Also that you can't wait for my next one,
Which may or may not be sestina-shaped.*


* The ‘may not’ seems more likely, I’m afraid.
Now entertain me in the comments, please?
(You do not have to use poetic forms
Although they would make you ten times more cool.)
