<font face="trebuchet ms">hello? is there anybody in there?
just nod if you can hear me
is there anyone home?

Come on, now.
I hear you’re feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.

Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I had a fever.
My hands felt just like two balloons.
Now I got that feeling once again.
I can’t explain, you would not understand.
This is not how I am.
I have become comfortably numb.

Ok.
Just a little pinprick.
There’ll be no more --aaaaaahhhhh!
But you may feel a little sick.

Can you stand up?
I do believe it’s working. good.
That’ll keep you going for the show.
Come on it’s time to go.

There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ship’s smoke on the horizon.
You are only coming through in waves.
Your lips move but I can’t hear what you’re sayin’.
When I was a child I caught a fleeting glimpse,
Out of the corner of my eye.
I turned to look but it was gone.
I cannot put my finger on it now.
The child is grown, the dream is gone.
I have become comfortably numb.</font>

i seriously don't understand why some parents opt for this one over "beat them back with a shoe." the ryhme sounds so long and forced. kids love monkeys, rico. and plus, your version uses "back" two lines in a row, which is a limerick nono. beat them away with a shoe would ideally be ideal, but i don't deal with poetic license.

[good night sleep tight
don't let the bed bugs bite]

iambic tetrameter

[and if they do
bang them back with a shoe]

iambic dimeter

------------------

[good night sleep tight
don't let the bed bugs bite]

iambic tetrameter

[and if they do
bite them back and eat them up like the monkeys do]

nothing

the iambic gets shot in the second line with the jumble of words and the meter obviously also goes to hell.
it was probably:
goodnight, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite
but if they do, bite them back
and eat them up like the monkies do.

which, in my personal musically-impaired opinion, sounds more balances than yours.

[deadish]

i say we change 'if they do' to 'and remember if they do'.
that way you gots that RHYTHM.

good night sleep tight
don't let the bedbugs bite
and remember if they do
bite them back like monkeys do

or

eat them up like monkeys do

or

beat them bloody with a shoe

or

give them plates of tiramisu

or

mum and dad don't love you

or

show them that you know kung fu

or

you mustn't move until they're through

or

orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

[Forever Finite]

deadish, have you ever considered a degree in solving the world's problems ology?

[implode]

good night sleep tight
don't let the bedbugs bite
and if they do
bang them back with a shoe but there's no rhythm to that. i thought you were saying:

good night, sleep tight
don't let the bedbugs bite
and if they do, bite them back
and beat them back (or away) with a shoe

which, if anything, at least keeps the same pace to the rhyme for the entire affair. yours jumps around and uses two i... iam... iambic... two different rhythms, dammit. i was doing drugs and skipping school when i was supposed to be learning this shit, man. don't cut me any slack, just try to understand where i'm coming from.

and for her version, would it not be:

good night sleep tight
don't let the bedbugs bite

(tetrameter)

and if they do
then bite them back

(dimeter, though i added a "then")

and eat them up like monkeys do

(trimeter) unless it isn't. does an accent always have to end the line?

i don't know, but if we're going to criticise the poetic structure of a retarded child's ditty, then we should at least be thorough.

EDIT: and upon further consideration... capitalised words are accented. a-dirp.

good NIGHT sleep TIGHT
DON'T let the BEDBUGS bite

and IF they don't
then BITE them back

and EAT them UP
like MONKEYS DO

what's the problem with that? it keeps the same pace throught the entire verse.

[Mr_Malice]

Here's something profound.

私はすべて殺す

[implode]

yeah, i did my accents wrong for the first part. it is GOOD and not NIGHT. but hers isn't even a couplet anymore, it's.. like an aabcdb type situation. which, i'll agree, is poor poetic form, but at least it keeps the same pace throughout the entire verse. you can see how a special needs child could take solace in it, anyway.

i didn't know there were more than two lines, either, trogg. the first i'd heard of this extended bedbug madness was when rachel told me about her counseling experiences.

EDIT: oh you edited. i didn't copy him, bitches.

[Meat Load]

Indeed.

It's like "Bedbug: The Director's Cut" or something.

[implode]

and that's not that ridiculous of a rhyme skeme. it's almost limerickal, like i said. it's got the same five lines and the same beat.

there ONCE was a MAN from nanTUCKET
who PUT all his CASH in a BUCKET
his DAUGHTER named nan
ran AWAY with a man
and AS for the BUCKET, nanTUCKET

the only difference is that it's a bc thing instead of bb, and it doesn't go back to a.

GOOD night SLEEP tight
DON'T let the BEDBUGS bite
and IF they do
then BITE them back
and EAT them up like MONKEYS do.

eh. aaactually... i guess the "and" makes it kind of clunky, but it's still got an indisputable toe-tappin' rhythm, dammit.

[implode]

well, yeah. i'm just saying that because "limerick" was the first word i identified it with and i am basically ignorant to the rules of poetry classification, so i'm trying to defend my original assessment based on this new, factual evidence.

and yes. do certainly is rhymed with do. i'm not saying I would use it, i'm just conjecturing why it's a hit with the kids (although, i probably would use it in any instance that wasn't the one you mentioned - when you're responding, there's no reason to keep the same pace. but when it's a single verse, it would sound strange read aloud with two different beats.)

i think my problem is that i'm actually associating it with that other limerick.

it's RAINING it's POORING
the OLD man is SNORING
he BUMPED his head
and WENT to bed
and DIDN'T wake up in the MORNING.

that one has the same beat, and i just stole it and attached it to retarded monkeys.

Let's say that there was this person, elderly, leaves a will, but then, while of right mind, changes it. Instead of leaving the property to her kids, she leaves it to the grandkids. Suddenly, she slips, falls into a coma. Not dead, the kids, not the grand kids, mind you, sell the house as they had planned. They sell it, and people move in. Then the elderly person dies, they read the will and find that the property they had sold was entrusted to the grandkid. What happens? Do they force the people out of the house?

[implode]

they don't sell the house in the first place because the deed is not in their name?

As far as I know, they couldn't sell the house unless it was for money to pay bills related to the elderly person, unless they had consent from the elderly person.

Or if they could, it would still be within their rights to sell, since the elderly person had not died yet and it was not the property of the grandchildren yet. They were the ones taking care of the elderly person (one would presume) and I'm sure that one of the children must have had power of attorney over the comatose elderly person, giving them the legal right to deal with the assets as they saw fit.

Though it would suck to be the grandchildren, there is really nothing to be done. You can't inherit what isn't there. It's just the same as the elderly person spending a large wad of money they had collected instead of leaving to the family. Sucks, but nothing can be done.

thats about as unfair as blaming someone for getting mugged beucase they had cash

[implode]

not really. maybe if they fanned all their cash out and waved it above their heads in the middle of the carnival.

[kyle!]

not really. maybe if they fanned all their cash out and waved it above their heads in the middle of the carnival....youre not supposed to do that...?

but ANYWAY
i dunno about that.
but then again
i dont exactly 100% sure know what you mean.

i was just saying someting like
its not exactly fair to link those things together like that. because theres nothing wrong with those things. so having a attitude like, "yeah, that SHOULD have happebed! thats what you GET!"
to someone who got mugged beucase they had money, or someone who got divorce when they used to be married... is kinda...
dumb?
im bad at explaining :/

[implode]

nooo. maybe. what? your website killed my bubble. i am very upset and do not know whether i will be able to type this coherently through all these tears, so plz x-q's ne typoz.

divorce would not be possible without marriage. that's what he means. or, should mean. being mugged is still possible, even if you have no money - your attacker will just be pissed off, s'all. marriage "causes" divorce in the sense that you need one for the other to exist. it's like saying "hearts are responsible for heart attacks" - it may have actually been the cigarettes and the weekly butter injections that rushed it along, but this, i tell ya, brother, you can't have one without the oth-er.

i m awaare of thaaaaaat. that its dependant i mean...
im just saying its not exactly a fair statement
as in
something like, if a friend came up to you and said that any of those things happened,
"THATS BECUASE YOU GOT MARRIED, STUPID!" or whatever response,
is probably not gonna be seen as nice. or helpful in any way. emotionally, OR
legally. or whatever.

haha i feel like we kinda probably agree on someof this but are just saying different things.

edit: AND LIKE
not every married person gets a divorce. not everyone gets a heart attack. etc.
so you cant entirely blame being married for getting a divorce. becuase it obviously isnt the actual CAUSE of it. i can think of an analogy but i feel like ive used so many in this

[implode]

but only people with hearts get heart attacks, and only people with marriages get divorces, and only people with basketballs get free throws. you know. so. yeah, we're saying the same thing but still managing to argue. we should be congresspeople.

marriage DOES kind of cause divorce. any problems that spring up in the marriage are directly related to you being married - if he cheats on you, you get a divorce because you're married and it hurts, if he hits you, you get a divorce because you're married and have to live with that and it hurts, if he... spends all his time on the internet, you get a divorce because you're married and need affection, etc. any of the problems that spring up during marriage and cause divorce would not be as important were you not married in the first place. neh?

just because every married person doesn't get a divorce doesn't mean that it's not the cause of divorce.

yyyyes, but you don't get the divorce <i>bee-cuz</i> you're being beaten. you call the cops because you're being beaten. you get the divorce because you're married to a guy that beats you. right?

like, if you're lost in a secret jungle, and then you get attacked by a tiger, it's more the jungles fault than the tigers that you get eaten. you wouldn't have those problems if you weren't in a habitat where tigers live.

TIGERARMYNEVERDIE.

[kyle!]

i think its safe to say its a combonation of both???
but yeah. you get the divorce beucase youre married to a guy who beats you... the only thing in that, that makes it so you will get a divorce, is the "because he beats you" part of it.
you dont just get a divorce becuase youre married, as if all married people do it at some point.
marrige opens up the option for divorce, but isnt in itself the thing that encourages it

Wow...um. I didn't really mean anything in particular when I posted that, except that now implode's analysis seems to be the one that I would lean against as it explains the macro-marriage thing, while mid's explanation favors the micro-aspects of it.

But I feel macro trumps micro just for the sake of profundity/half-jokingness, even though in the Real World, micro is what normal people would follow.

Anyhoo, I got it from here (http://hartfordadvocate.com/gbase/News/content?oid=oid:123410). It's really very funny.

Irken Dictator: So have you thought about your future much?
Irken Dictator: Like what you need to do?
RoryStorm42: I try not to
Irken Dictator: why?
RoryStorm42: because
RoryStorm42: it frightens me
RoryStorm42: it makes me scared
Irken Dictator: It frightens me too, I just gave up on a lot of the ideas that I wanted to do, because I want to make sure that an event an important event that will take place in my life. A new role has tooken place in my life, and I am doing everything for what I want to occur. I have been thinking and stressing over the future. I have been stressing because I know I will have money problems and such
Irken Dictator: You know that is a problem as well, because how I deal with stress is by doing things like going to movies and shopping
Irken Dictator: I try not too
Irken Dictator: but it is like an addiction now, because somehow, I am always happy when I walk out, and that happiness is like the payoff of everything. It is also like a drug, because I am spending money for it. To realove stress.
Irken Dictator: How do you deal with stress or if you are not feeling well?
RoryStorm42: I don't ever know a moment in my life, for more than an hour, at least, that I have had stress
RoryStorm42: I try to avoid it
RoryStorm42: at all costs
RoryStorm42: easy come
RoryStorm42: easy go
Irken Dictator: But you know if you put it off it is going to come back and hit you stronger that what it was, right?
RoryStorm42: not if you deal with right then and there
RoryStorm42: thats what i do
RoryStorm42: I fix the problems
RoryStorm42: before they can come back
Irken Dictator: But what about planning for future, that is strssful, but it is better than just winging it
Irken Dictator: ?
RoryStorm42: oh I want this DVD, but I need gas money, gas costs 3.26 a gallon, I need to fill up half a tank, blah blah, I cannot buy the dvd at this time
RoryStorm42: "Predicting the future is a mugs game"- Douglas Adams
RoryStorm42: I go with the flow
RoryStorm42: make out loose plans as to what I want
RoryStorm42: so this way
RoryStorm42: I am not set on one path
RoryStorm42: I didn't know where I was going to college until like...february or so
RoryStorm42: it was set in feb, I guess
Irken Dictator: Better to give yourself an idea, than going with the flow. Or atleast it makes me feel better, because I am working important things into my life for it.
Irken Dictator: Welll I hope thing go well for you
Irken Dictator: I kinda worry that this isn't wise for you to do
Irken Dictator: but maybe things can go well for you, you seem like a simple person. If you just want an appartment and a decent income. Than maybe you are okay.
Irken Dictator: Is that what you truelly want?
RoryStorm42: this is what I want
RoryStorm42: I want an apartment
RoryStorm42: with
RoryStorm42: a bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, a living room type area
RoryStorm42: a car, which I have
RoryStorm42: and a good paying job
Irken Dictator: Seems simple enough, if you are happy with just that, then good for you.
Irken Dictator: brb
Irken Dictator: How many people are you talking to you?
RoryStorm42: not many
RoryStorm42: just you really
Irken Dictator: oh
RoryStorm42: why
Irken Dictator: just curious
Irken Dictator: How do you feel about all this, leaving the interent, starting college and stuff?
Irken Dictator: internet*
RoryStorm42: I feel
RoryStorm42: not bad about leaving the internet
RoryStorm42: it doesn't phase me
RoryStorm42: school seems much more daunting
RoryStorm42: and almost impossible
RoryStorm42: it just doesn't figure out in my mind
Irken Dictator: hmmm, that is sort of good to hear about the internet thing, but sorry to hear about how you feel college is going to be
Irken Dictator: You know if you find a goal, and set your goal high, and it is something you really want, college will be easier, and the work will be easier too. It will give you the nessary push you need, because when you are down, you can think of all things to look forward too, and how nessary this school work is. Because I can tell you what, when I have piles of work I get really stressed and down, but I push myself backup and know that I must continue what I started if I am too ever have what I want.
Irken Dictator: Are things that I am saying have any meaning to you?
RoryStorm42: they do
RoryStorm42: they are comforting, I think
RoryStorm42: you remind me of a guidance councelor, only good at what you do
Irken Dictator: haha, okay. good, I was starting too wonder if you were actually thinking aboout what I saying or just wanting me to shut up
RoryStorm42: no no, not now at least
RoryStorm42: I would never tell someone to shut up
RoryStorm42: especially you
Irken Dictator: alright, you know why I bother to say everything I have?

because despite the begginning you have become a good friend, also despiting the fact that I never met you in person. Because I feel that since I am not going to speaking to you much in the future I should at least say these things now, because I feel they are important things. I also hope they will help, and hope that you may think about what I meant. because in the end your happiness should be the main thing important to you, like mine is too me. I sort of feel you seem a bit lost, and maybe hopefully you can find your place, because when you find your place, life seems easier. Or at least that is what I feel. Don't take anything i say bad, because in all honesty you have become like family.
Irken Dictator: Hopefully you can make sense out of all that
RoryStorm42: shit dude
RoryStorm42: you made me cry
RoryStorm42: almost
RoryStorm42: and save this conversation
Irken Dictator: Oh good, hey if it ever comes to it, I want you to come back to this, these are important things that I feel I must say. And I hope you can see how I feel they are important.
RoryStorm42: kid you made me cry...the only other thing that ever made me cry in the past......year or two....was The Office Special
RoryStorm42: and that's it
Irken Dictator: Hmmm, you have become a good friend, and when someone becomes a friend like you have. Their lives start to become important to me, and I hope that things turn out good for them. So you could say that I cared. I want you to remember that too, never let that go unappreciated. There will always be people out there that care about you, this is something I have always let go unnoticed. I wish I realized this a long time ago, because when you are down, just this can brighten your day.
Irken Dictator: So will you be on for the next few days?
RoryStorm42: yeah
Irken Dictator: Was there anything I said you felt you may have not understood?
RoryStorm42: no
RoryStorm42: nothing
RoryStorm42: I understand
Irken Dictator: Okay, good to hear. I have always had the bad luck in the past of miscomunicating something, and these are thing I don't want to get miscomunnicated

you're right, though. i just wanted to argue and i took the wrong side. i got up to the point where i could establish that the two go hand in hand - e.g., you can't have divorce without marriage, but yeah, i never actually managed to justify how marriage <i>causes</i> divorce. but i don't think my logic was faulty. i just didn't accomplish what i meant to with it.
