Confessions Of A Second-Rate Writer

CONFESSIONS OF A SECOND-RATE WRITER


I’ve finally flipped, I need help I’ll admit,
but that kid in the glasses just gets on my tit.

No reincarnation; no Pharaoh, no Lama
yet he’s probably more famous than Barack Obama.

It’s taking obsession too far, I suppose,
but that bowing and scraping gets right up my nose

And it’s worse in the movies than there on the page;
so much grovelling from characters four times his age.

His pals get no kudos for saving his skin;
‘cause this mission is personal, so ‘He’ has to win.

I know I’ll be hated, become a pariah
for recrucifying this latest messiah

But it’s time I confessed how I murdered the brat,
“You’re dead, Harry Potter, now get out of that!


hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha haha……………………………………………………………………………………...Ha”

[Hawkman]

Hasn't anyone worked out yet that Potter is Voldemort?

I'm with you hill, ice the brat!

[PrinceMyshkin]

You mean I don't have to read any of the HP books?!!!!

[hillwalker]

Just my sense of humour taking a step off a ledge..... thanks Hawk. And Prince, the books aren't so bad (it's the way he's being portrayed in the films, agh).

[dafydd manton]

Get the four-eyed little *#@+*! If we can get through life without him, so much the better. And don't worry, we'll come and visit you!

[hillwalker]

Thank you sir, but the deed has already been done..... so I'm on the run.

[Bar22do]

I add my confession to yours: I agree, and completely so, hill, though I wonder why

"recrucifying this latest messiah",

if he's the latest one, can't he be simply "crucified" or do I get something wrong? I suppose your poem murders the brat anyway and in it lies the revelation... :smile5:

Yeah, someone had to proclaim "the king is naked" - kudos for your courage!

Best - Bar

[hillwalker]

Bar - you are correct of course in spotting my misuse of 'recrucifying'. Put it down to trying to scribble a poem and keep one eye on the pasta at the same time.

[Jerrybaldy]

haha Hill. totally agree. the famous five and the adventurous four and even the secret seven are all so superior. thankfully hollywood never got a hold of any of them

[hillwalker]

Cheers Jerry, and you are so right.

I read this out loud and my daughter shouted 'he's *****ing about HP!' I was a bit slow but I appreciate we have all had our fill of the kid but I feel sorry for Daniel Radcliffe - his furutre is gloomy, I suspect.

[hillwalker]

WELL actually he's doing very well for himself, not just in the movies but more particularly on the stage.....

and apologise to your daughter, it's just that......... grr

[Delta40]

she'll get over it. She has recently discovered the Adrian Mole diaries. Strangely, I always imagined AM to look just like Harry Potter

[hillwalker]

I know what you mean..... nerdishness personified (lol)

[AuntShecky]

Whew! I'm glad the speaker and the creator of this verse are two separate entities--'cause the latter sure ain't "second-rate"!

[hillwalker]

Thanks again Aunty - for finding time to pass judgement on my heinous crime, and for your forgiveness as I do away with the boy-wonder, while secretly hankering for JK's success (and fortune, of course).

[dafydd manton]

Don't think we need a vote in that one, Aunt.! Superb poetry AND disposing of nerds. Give Hillwalker a medal.
