Yesterday's curse was so inspiring that I just felt I had to offer my own -- well, I think it's art. But I suppose you'll have to judge for yourselves. I'm sure you'll scorn me. You always do.

I give you, dear City...

An Ode To Cain Hargreaves.
Presented in Villanelle

And so becomes our good friend Cain:
this tale's of he, of might and steel --
when all's been told, a royal pain.

Tho' he (it's said) is never vain
there's little doubt he flaunts and preens
as well becomes our good friend Cain.

And well he should, one without shame.
A peerless peer, if well you will.
When all's been told, he's quite a pain.

Yet never would he fib, nor fain
to frolic. An iron spine (braced by
a broomstick) has our good friend Cain.

Still, to us lowly proles he'll deign
to speak, advise or nose about
where he's unwanted. S'truth, a pain.

So o're us all may long he reign
(though like the oxen, he is lame)
a haughty, stuffy, grumpy pain
is he, Hargreaves, our dear friend Cain.

That was quite enjoyable, actually. Who shall I honor next? Luke? Anita, I'm afraid your name provides simply too few rhyming opportunities.

I'll gladly save you from a few hours of boredom, Cain. I'm so glad you've decided to take our relationship to the next level.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Yes, I do think you misunderstood.

[tinybitmad.livejournal.com]

You don't have to be shy, Cain~.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

I'm expected to be shy about something?

[tinybitmad.livejournal.com]

Expected or not.

Now it's my turn to be confused and to misunderstand.

[tinybitmad.livejournal.com]

You're always confused when it suits you.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

Isn't it fortunate, though?

[tinybitmad.livejournal.com]

Quite.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

My sincerest apologies for my misunderstanding.

[tinybitmad.livejournal.com]

Of course they're accepted.

[misterblackbird.livejournal.com]

How very generous of you.
