Bullshift

[Delta40]

You gotta push
get yer shoulder in
don't lose your arm in its ***
C'mon push. Ain't ya got no mettle?
Mind it don't kick them kin jewels!

Aw Ma I can't shift this bull an inch.

Yeh, it's snorting coz you keep jabbing its rump
Crap. I can hear it up front
Why don't you pull its ring n see if that helps?
Hows bout I use my other shoulder
and you take t'other side?

Push Pa, push!
We gotta shift this bull
before we be drowned in it
Ooh Ma, I think we need help

Lordy Lord. This bullshift ain't working

Yer hear it hoofing now?
That mean it be reeelly mad
What'll we do?
It's taking up all the room.

Guess we be stuck with the bull.

extended metaphor for creative writing?

What they need is a "cattle prod". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cattle_prod

[Delta40]

lol. It's a metaphor for bull****!

[Jerrybaldy]

same thing then :)

[Delta40]

we're all wading through it...

[Hawkman]

Just as well it wasn't a Musk Ox!

I love it!

Perhaps it went over my head but I don't see any form to this poem. It's all content and thinking about it the content isn't that good either. In fact thinking about it even more, this isn't even a poem!

[kittypaws]

It is a poem about BS....
and what is BS?

Delta I found it very amusing...and I agree it is so hard to get out of the path. Why, it is every where!

:lol:

I don't mean to sound disrespectful but this is prose not poetry.

This is great, Delta - like a Lennon McCartney song without the music, sort of the missing track from Let It Be, yes?

Can you hear it?

[Delta40]

I don't mind in the least.

I think using italics on the different speakers makes it easier to track; not that I had difficulty, I just find it convenient.

I, too, wasn't as fond of the content, but as it is about "bull****," perhaps the content then is fitting, although I wouldn't call the content "bull****."

[Delta40]

Thanks IceM. It is certainly not one of my better ones but I was inspired and penned it anyway. I can now officially look back on this piece and say 'what a load of bull****!' I appreciate your comments.

Yup. I feel buried in it. :)
