I've composed a little poem about pancakes (sort of) in the stylings of Dorothy Parker (what fresh hell is this?!!)

First of all, I see absolutely nothing wrong in choosing this poem as a prompt, as I am only giving an example of the form. Secondly, I had hoped that the remarks about Flanders would have been seen as humour directed towards myself for being so obviously stupid, rather than a comment on the obvious tragic subject of the poem itself. <br />It appears I was wrong.Peter Gouldinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13292063172122249202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6689448175317552618.post-4731624855693258822011-03-06T07:37:58.424+00:002011-03-06T07:37:58.424+00:00Interesting example of how history repeats itself,...Interesting example of how history repeats itself, first time round as Tragedy (WW2), second time riund as Farce (Choosing and making fun of this poem as a prompt for the Bus.)
