times you wished you were francis bacon

[hotb]

[Blitz Walrus]

right now.

[Rinoko]

All day err day.

[Exeres]

Never.

[hotb]

also please write poems about wanting to be francis bacon

here's mine

I gaze at the skies yonder
Where larks and the sparrows do flitter
And I can't help but ponder
Thoughts ever so bitter

Why can't I fly
Like Francis Bacon
Philosophy
Like Francis Bacon

Through the sky
Like Francis Bacon
In the mind
Like Francis Bacon

Oh why can't I
Be Francis Bacon

[YCobb]

Francis Bacon oh,
I wish be Francis Bacon,
Yes Francis Bacon

((It's haiku, an elegant style of poetry from Japan. You've probably never heard of it.))

[Exeres]

Francis Bacon
He's a guy
He lived a long time ago
He did stuff
Francis Bacon

[Omnithea]

Francis Bacon? Who's that? Is he related to Oscar Meyer?

[Game Angel]

I think he's related to Kevin Bacon, omni

[Exeres]

One degree of separation.

[Tetrunes]

To become the man Sir Francis B.
One must become one with poetry
Though dead as a doornail he may be
I'd love to become Sir Francis B.
A unfunny waste of space, time and resources dedicated to poetry
By the Forumite known as hot-b
To become the man Sir Francis B.
Learn to eat a book in ways of three
Don't take that last line too literaly
To eat a book like Sir Francis B.
First be rid of apathy
Care for books and you will see
To become the man Sir Francis B.
It isn't going to be easy
Now back to the books forgot by me
And how to eat them like Sir. Francis B.
The ways of comsumption are numbered three
To taste, swallow, or digest, you see
In the plating lies the key
To become the man Sir Francis B.
Take a trip to your local library
Behold the gift from what once was tree
And consume like Sir Francis B.
A side note between you and me
I'm having no trouble with this rhyme scheme
Have I become Sir Francis B?

[keegster2]

Francis Bacon? Who's that? Is he related to Kevin Bacon?

[Game Angel]

I already answered that

[Riku]

He does that a lot.

[Omnithea]

Goddammit, Oscar Meyer was clever. I specifically did not do the Kevin Bacon joke. I liked him in Tremors, but goddammit razzle frazzle...
