Riled Dolphins

(actual thread name Rilke, Dolphins)

Snot Glass Journal

A truly eh-pick venue to hawk your latest book. Although some of the reviews there are pretty viscous.

(actual thread name: Shot Glass Journal)

Just Read the Instructions (past tense rather than imperative)

sLimE

(actual thread name: 3 Lims, which should be "smiLE" backwards. So I'm misreading a misreading.)

six moorish dances (not the nexus)

Edna

(thread title 'Elan')

Boney M, formerly Equanimity

(Bone de Ml, formerly Equanimity)

Train Ruts
(Trade Routes)

Nubile Muse

(New Able Muse)

Right. Me too. Now what should I do?

I've been repeatedly misreading Andrew F's "Parthenogenic" as "Parthenongenie" for a few days now.

Also, "Keats 200" --> "Keats ZOO." Nightingale, grasshopper, cricket, etc....

"Eat Old Women"

(Apparently, a cross between Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal For preventing the Children of Poor People From being a Burthen to Their Parents or Country, and For making them Beneficial to the Publick," and Susan McLean's workshop thread titled "Fat Old Women")

Cute! Julie, it reminds me a bit of the old saying, Eat the Rich. Evidently Motorhead and Aerosmith both have songs with that title now.
The Swift is brilliant.

Cheers,
John

You beat me to that one, Julie 🤣

Testicular Magazine.

Interesting, Ann. Health or Art? :D

Perhaps that's a good venue in which to place One must imagine Syphilus happy.

Ha. As if he didn't have troubles enough!:)

Yes; perfect, Julie. With accompanying cartoon! 🤣

“Fat Old Roman”

Nero the Chubby dominating the mind of a reader of Susan McLean’s “Fat Old Women.”

“Pet Old Women”

More of the same, but this time affecting the owner of a vigorous golden retriever.

Rilke, The Parks, Ill

(No one captures vomit in a lovely outdoor setting quite like Rilke.)

:D

With apologies to Jim Moonan...

My Gladiator Surprise

Mislead Eratosphere threat names,

gargled Nero thinly, stalling.

.
These are a riot! I misread often. That Rilke's vomit might be poetic is almost too much to imagine!

And Fliss, no apologies needed. It's a title ripe for misreading : ) Interestingly enough, the poem does mention swords...

Julie, just to say, for someone who demands logic to be present when one is expressing thought using words, you have a wild imagination. I know that the two can co-exist, but like it or not, your imagination easily upstages your quest for clarity, I think. It's humor at its best. You're funny!
.

Julie, that is hilarious.

Susan

Thanks, Jim! It was probably the swords that instructed my misreading, lol.

Deep Thrills (Spectator)

Illicit peep shows, including cold showers after, for deep state liberals and others motivated to forget flames in California and elsewhere.

Every time Deep End appears, I read where have all the flowers gone. . . .

Titties

(Real thread name: Titles by Sam Gwynn on the General Discussion Board — on the heels of the Ogler poem by Andrew Frisardi on metrical... Proof the world is coming to an end... no bang heard...)

(Am I in trouble now?)

.

Yup. mmmmmm

And right beneath it, "The Rake's Progress."

Rilke, The Prisoner, & I

(What a night!)

also

Three about poison

Hangover Park

(Original is "Hanover Park." Originals in the previous post were "Rilke, The Prisoner, I" and "Three about prison.")

Dipshit Nativity
