Peter not here yet? Let's hope he didn't get beat up on the way home. Then again, looking at the title of this thread, he probably fell asleep under a lamp post...
 
This one was kind of exciting, because of the potential for senseless, random violence -- and because the poster is apparently a supernatural, winged being!
 
His previous one was pretty good too, because I like salami, but ultimately he had to be rejected beause he left out the apostrophe in his possessive "peoples."

Axolotl is an interesting thing to regard. Check on them. Also, I would like to try on of my Random Suburban Contemporary Poems:

His sponges trembled,
languid on the apocalipse of green fundaments of the rice parrot,
but he was sad, and his cat was desintegrating,
and he sold backwards his friend's vroom,
until the end.
    
Also, I think my signature is interesting. It took me a very good effort to create a showman Koala ASCII (notice the top hat).
  I like this post, because of the opening wacky Aztec word which I can't pronounce, and the moving, masterful poem.
 
In the end, though (and despite his somewhat exciting, suggestive name), this guy loses because his home country is just too darned long, thin and pointy -- like the pepper for which it is named.

I like the '"trout" one best, because trout is tasty on the BBQ, and because Ian Anderson used to own a trout farm.
(Now if only I could figure out what the anagrams derive from....Confused)
 
Here is your grand prize, Easy -- some limericks I painstakingly composed during my bike ride, and jotted down on a napkin in the local donut shop:
 
There once was a limey named Tony
Who was quite an incredible phony
He blustered and puffed
And acted quite tough
But all knew he was chock full of baloney
******************************
 
There once was a mincer named Garten
Who was always and forever a fartin'
When he'd let loose in a room
Those near him would swoon
While the rest fled with eyes red and smartin'
*******************************
 
There once was an old man named McBeath
Who oft' wandered alone 'cross the heath
'Twas there he'd be found
Long leagues from the town
A-foaming and gnashing his teeth
********************************
 
There once was a sicko, McBeath
Who vowed: "tis far better beneath"
As Tony climbed on
He burst into song
(The threepenny one, 'bout Mack Heath)
********************************
 
There once was a Scotsman named Bob
With a shy and retiring nob
When lassies lifted his kilt
His thistle would wilt
Sighed they:  "he's nay up for the job"
***********************************
 
Congrats, & hope you liked 'em, Bobber!

I don't want to know about your showers, or what colours they are... Wink

Jam would be lovely, thanks. Wink  Don't forget to cover the whole of the surface, close to the edge.

Since I wrotte about Axolotl and you ended up mentioning Argentina, I must recommend the short story "Axolotl" by Argentinian writter Julio Cortázar. Incredible, to say the least.

Nice try, but no cigar. Thumbs Down (Try using more CHEESE, next time!)


Hey, you just asked for something 'remotely' interesting! Tongue

let's just stay above the moral melee
prefer the sink to the gutter
keep our sand-castle virtues
content to be a doer
as well as a thinker,
prefer lifting our pen
rather than un-sheath our sword

AXOLOTL are Salamanders in larvae state that "choose" not to become full adults (that'll be a Salamander), and remain being a larvae for the rest of their lives, wich is quite strange, and was the inspiration for that incredible short story I was quoting before.
