My name is Eel
And London thugs
Pollute the Thames
By dumping drugs
But I ignore
Their piles of snow
I don't do coke
I just say no

A pome for Quincey P. Morris
My name is Quin-
-cey Morris and
When evil seems
Too near at hand,
When in the sky
They flitter-flat,
I go outside.
I shoot the bat.

or wen the moon

i stay up late.
i lik the bred.
"i lik the bred" is like maybe my favorite internet poem of all time! of course!
full scansion:
◡ – / ◡ –
my name / is Cow,

and wen / its nite,
◡ – / ◡ –
or wen / the moon
◡ – / ◡ –

◡ – / ◡ –

◡ – / ◡ –

metrical form: iambic dimeter
rhyme scheme: ABCB
other notes: This could also be analyzed as AABB iambic tetrameter, but what I love about it is that after one long sentence, it breaks the syntactic unit in the middle of a couplet to create a surprising ending. Ink has been spilled over whether the non-standard orthography of this poem is intended to evoke archaism (as it is about an event that happened in an 18th-century historical reenactment) or the animal speaker (cf. the orthography of lolcatz memes).

For some reason Tumblr thinks it should inflict German translations of some things on me, although my language setting is English. Words like "gerebloggt" and "gelikt" hurt my poor brain, though at least the latter is also funny, because it makes me think of the My Name is Cow.

a post zat does fill me wis glee,
wis zat you too shall now be dosed:
i clik ze hart, i lik ze post.

"I wish ao3 would let me-"
It probably does, you just gotta learn how to do it.
"I wanna see fics for only my opt"
Go to either fandom tag or your ships tag, (if you're doing fandom tag you have to add your ship in the 'relationship' section),go to fliters (mobile) or the right hand side (desktop), go to the 'search within results' area and put in otp:true just like that click 'sort and filter' And it'll pull up all fics with just your otp.
(EDIT: if you wanna do this but still have other parings try otp:false instead of otp:true)
"I wanna sort by _____ not 'Date updated'"
Go to 'filters' or right, theirs a drop down and you can change it to 'author' 'title' 'date posted' ect their are more options. Pick one, click 'sort and filter'
"I don't wanna see /reader"
Filter or Right, go to 'search within results' type in -/reader like that, click 'sort and filter'. No more /reader
"I don't want explicit works"
You know where we're going Right or filter. 'Exclude' section. 'Ratings' click the box that says 'explicit'
Obviously if people don't tag shit correctly it's not gonna work but yeah you just gotta learn how the tagging works. For better tutorials go to TikTok and search 'ao3 tutorials' you can do just about everything.

Our name is Goose
We live round here
and rule this town
with awe and fear
Our rage should not
be overlooked
You cross our path?
Your goose is cooked

A pome for the very large bat who happens to be in Whitby tonight and isn’t quite sure which book they’ve flown into
I am a bat!
I soar on high!
And when the moon
Is in the sky…
Does Mina at
The glass survey?
I am alarmed!
I flit away!
