A poem by Mackshere

[mackshere]

I wrote this a long time ago. Tell me what you think.

CHAMP

Here is a story
about the reverse side of glory
an innocence that can't be redeemed
Some of the details are hazy
but they still drive me crazy
stuck in a sewage of dreams
I wasn't sure what the man meant
when he said he pitched a tent
and wanted me to see
He pretended to be tough
putting from the rough
trying to intimidate me
I'll admit
my insides got flossed
if you know what I mean
Yes my shit got tossed
in between the seams
Every attempt to repress
only makes me depressed
Evidently this memory
will remain undressed...

Underneath the lamps and clamps
he put the stamp
on my one-way ramp
that's how I became the champ
down at boy scout camp

[mackshere]

No comments? heh-heh. For the record, I never got molested at boy scout camp. This poem is a bad joke. I know, I'm an insensitive prick. Good thing we don't have to be PC in the Fortress.

I'm sure the arch kiddie-fiddler Baden-Powell would approve wholeheartedly.

I notice you didn't rhyme 'woggles' with 'night-vision goggles' - the temptation must've been difficult to resist - even though you'd've had to insert it arbitrarily..

[trashcanman]

I've kept this from you all these years, man. I was that scoutmaster. I'm 100% straight, but you were just that damn sexy. Plus, those boy Scouts are all teasing whores. You rule.

[mackshere]

Oh you're not gay, just a keen opportunist. Thanks for helping me earn my molestation merit badge.

[The Curmudgeon]

A poetry dedicated to potting the brown, eh? Again, a first for the Fortress.

It's actually, if we're being honest, pretty good. Needs a bit of tidying up, some of the lines jar when you read it out loud, but I used to go to a creative writing class (more than) a few years back and I think this being read out to a group would get a good response. If they've got a sense of humour, of course.

I remember writing a story in school about my dad raping me in the shower. I got some funny looks for that one.

With the "True Romance" thread ans that post you're painting a picture, Curmudgeon. Not that there's anything wrong with that......homo.

[The Curmudgeon]

Hey, I'm just opening up....... if you know what I mean.

Goatse.cx, anyone?

[mackshere]

Sadly, the world has little tolerance for fun stories of molestation and shower rapeage.

[trashcanman]

Then the terrorists have won.
