Funny! Thanks to Edward Byrne, I came upon this treat from the early years of Hugh Laurie. It’s called “Poetry Prize.” British humor is fabulous!
For Barbie fans! A video clip (you’ll have to view it on Jezebel’s site) of Goth Barbie. Warning: Tell your little girls to leave the room. There is some objectionable material, but it is funny. Especially her unpublished poetry.I don’t usually get wrapped up into these silly gimmicks, but this one looked fun:
What British Romantic Poet are You?
Your Result: You are John Keats!
Ars gratis artis! Keats had only one idea, but it was a good one: “Beauty is Truth, Truth Beauty.” Unlike the other British Romantics, he didn’t have a political agenda. He died at 26.
Interesting! I’d have never guessed Keats. Coleridge is my favorite British Romantic. Blake is my least favorite. I like Keats, but I often can’t identify with him. And I DO have a political agenda.This is no joke. Political poetry identified. Finally, someone with enough time on his hands.
To Mr. Bender: Well, then I guess the “empty space” is in my head because I WAS CURIOUS enough to fill it up with something like this nifty quiz result!
Allen, I’m John Keats, as well. Then, Blake, Lord Byron, Shelley, Coleridge and Wordsworth. Thanks for the 10 MINUTES (Mr. Bender! Wasted time to you I’ll bet!) of FUN, Allen dear..:)
Since when does anyone put any credence in a mySpace poll? I thought it was just empty prattle to fill up empty space.
