There once was a man from Agora
who replied not to the public fora.
His votes were submitted,
but his say was omitted,
though his ballots were cast in plethora.
Concise, yet tells a full story. Good job.
ehird:
(b) A Patent Title herein is ordained:
We name it "Bard", and grant it those with wit.
In order for the Title to be gained,
A level of Support must call for it.
Three players to a fourth may grant the name
If three shall write as one with two Support.
A current Bard may also grant the same
Provided that a second Bard's a sport.
So that we don't the name of Bard debase:
With three Support, a Player can conspire
To (from a Bard) this Title to erase;
Or Bards in triplicate a Bard retire.
But lest we ruin some poor minstrel's fun,
E CANNOT be dis-bard for awful pun.
Where have I read this before....?
Wooble:
I say I do, therefore I do.
Don't quote to me your refuting rules,
Though CFJs do not come back TRUE,
I say I do, therefore I do.
It works for me, it will work for you
The judges and officers all are fools.
I say I do, therefore I do,
don't quote to me your refuting rules.
Excellent use of repetition. Nicely done.
Murphy:
How slow is triple unanimity!
That lofty goal of undisputed truth
That three must reach in no more time than one.
And so the order handed down to me:
Recuse the lot if they be so uncouth
That none persuade the rest before the gun.
But I was lost, the cases like a sea;
Extended kindness, as if to a youth
And gave them extra time to judge and run.
Apologies, I register a plea:
No fun.
Bonus points for the obscure rhyme scheme. (Anything more is a small
conflict of interest.)
Pavitra:
O Protean Game, amended oft
(In fits by law, in starts by scam),
Thy glories Bard-prais'd, loud or soft,
In many keys -- how glad I am
To say this day, of all the year,
(Occasion'd thy nativity,)
To Public Forum, all to hear:
Happy Birthday! (Ribbon me.)
This poem flows smoothly. I like it.
