Speaking of poetry for a moment, who here has a favourite poem or poet?

T.S. Eliot's 'The Waste Land' is by far my favourite poem. If anyone ever reads my match previews (and I think only Ochre does) I always put a few references in there.

But I also really like 'The Masque of Anarchy' by P.B. Shelley

Does renowned beat poet Ice Cube count?

I prefer Vanilla Ice but each to their own

 

[Ochre]

The world is quiet here.

I didn't realise this was a sad occasion.

Where are you mate?

I live in northern Sweden. I took this yesterday around 3:30PM.

In summer it doesn't go dark until like 1AM and even then it's never really pitch black and only for a couple hours. It's even wilder further north.

The Ninja Rap is a particular favourite of mine

Yeah, what takes you there, or have you always lived there?

Well, young lady, have you been good to your mother?

I'm more of a Prufrock girl myself.

 

[Truckosaurus]

So there was a big black spider in my bedroom and I sprayed it and it fell on my bed and was crawling around so I put the can on it but missed and a leg flew off and spider juice got on the sheets and now I have nowhere to sleep and need to move.

For love my good man, for love.

 

[Godfather32]

For love my good man, for love.

We'll there's probably no better reason

What's the spider situation in Sweden? Asking for a friend.

They’re blonde instead of black

There's something to be said for being etherized upon a table

It's pretty idyllic. You can traipse through the forest with nothing to ruin your day, no big spiders, no snakes just plenty of edible berries and mushrooms.

And there's this thing called Allemansrätten which means you can go anywhere and pick whatever. It's honestly a bit like a fairytale.

Sounds good, you got a spare room? I'm just looking for my passport.

Ofc, the more the merrier. You can sleep next to my extensive collection of large and exotic arachnids.

You went there for love you say?

You're sick. I can see why you had to leave the country.

Eight legs a week!

T.S. Eliot would be more likeable if the world’s w***ers didn’t all obsess over T.S. Eliot.

Say rasps one more time mate, I dare you.

I've never actually read any of Key's poetry.

Gee wizz. You replace the word 'spider' in that story and it paints quite a different picture
