Chapter 5: Gangstas vs. Disco

"Its a quorl! you great big ninny!" Laughs Raest.
"Not related to locusts, a well known pest."
Out the portal strides brood with his hammer
Recently released from the Guantanamo slammer

"Does my bum look big in this orange boiler suit?"
Rake chortles, Raest laughs, Disco gives Brood the boot.
Just to loose it in that enormous crack
Oh yeah', Raest wheezes, 'baby's got back!'

Brood falls forward, flat on his face
Too many shandies in that manky place
Disco is tense, eyeing brood up and down
Settles on the arse and begins to frown

Then from out of Brood's butt, rap music is heard
and Reast walks over, without saying a word
starts dancing like Hammer, his favorite rapper
"Cant touch this!" Raest is so bloody dapper

Sleigh bells ring are you listening, Burns awake...
Crippled God-Santa loathes marble cake
Prefers sticky toffee pudding instead
Better get some before he makes you dead

One line a day was no idle threat...mostly.

Who decided on the old AABBCCDDEEFF.... rhyme scheme?

The President (2012) said:

Please proceed, Governor.

Chris Christie (2016) said:

There it is.

Elizabeth Warren (2020) said:

And no, I’m not talking about Donald Trump. I’m talking about Mayor Bloomberg.

I did it right at the beginning, its that iambic pentameter thingy that poets use ;), i.e. people that is not me. For one second I thought you were adding to the melange, don't be shy Terez

Iambic pentameter is a meter and has nothing to do with rhyme scheme, and AABBCCDD... is the most juvenile rhyme scheme known to man. I'm not shy. Just a poetry snob. Just ask Macros. Oh, and most of those lines don't even give lip service to iambic pentameter...

I tried to explain it to Macros once but he was drunk and I don't think he got it. Anyway, iambs are two-syllable bits with the stress on the second syllable. Iambic pentameter is a meter in which each line has 5 iambs, and therefore 10 syllables, with the stress on every second syllable, like this:

he LOVES to WASH his CAR on MONday NIGHTS

Not all that poetic, but it gets the point across. Some flubbing is allowed, but not too much.

I'm not really all that fond of iambic pentameter though....

Thats pretty much how I read it, but it is not always that easy to pull off and hence the lax attitude...anyway this is supposed to be fun, not difficult...So, you going to add your beans to the mix?

Brood is boozing, tries driving his car (I suggest we start anew)
Suck it Errant!

Chapter 6: A Miracle on Malazan Street

Sleigh bells ring are you listening, Burns awake...
Crippled God-Santa loathes marble cake
Prefers sticky toffee pudding instead
Better get some before he makes you dead

Brood is boozing, tries driving his car
Slams into a pole, in front of a bar

So last night I was walking downtown for some pizza at like 1am with some friends of mine,
and someone said, "I'm so hungry I could eat a whole pizza."

I said, "I bet I could eat 100 pizzas," and no one understood me. I was sad.

"Proceed with the removal of the vermin!"

(see there? I used perfect iambic pentameter except for the extra syllable I added at the end to conform to the rhyme, and also changed your rhyme scheme to something more mature)
