A Funny Thing Happened On The Way To The Forum Poem by Ted Sheridan

Brilliant, Ted, you have captured the Forum so well. You can floor-um or bore-um, ignor-um or score-um, or maybe find a quor-um. There's no decor-um, but a few cockalor-ums. I visit it because it can be hilarious, such comedy in the making. Loved this one. Love Ernestine XXX

Well Ted, there are those whose goats are always gotten - as the saying goes. The forum is like a freak show on most days and every so often someone says something that is about poetry. This made me laugh, as do most of the participants at the forum....not a whole lot of substance, IMO. Thanks for being your brilliant self and writing about things from your own delicious perspective.

Oh, yes, teh heh heh! Actually sweetheart, caustic wit and all, you're mightily talented. t x

This is the forum I know and love. Ah Ted... come away in and join us. You'll love it...It must have inspired hundreds of poems! ! A new species of war poetry! Take care sir.

Ted, have you not read my (304) A Funny thing didn't happen on the way to the Forum? It gives us a little inspiration now and then, if little else. LOL Danny

Interesting approach here to The topic of forums and how unforgivinly fellow poets judge each other

i feel the fence sitter's splinters, too, but oh how i love the forum!

Funny how we love pain! Nice write Ted!

'Now, class, Say this fast, Five times in a row, So you'll all know: ' FENCE SITTER SPLINTERS FENCE SITTER SPLINTERS FENCE SITTER SPLINTERS FENCE SITTER SPLINTERS FENCE SITTER SPLINTERS! ! ! Now, once you have wiped the spital off your faces, You may resume your places! '

This was great man, Funny in such way people don't see much of anymore. Thank you for a great start to my day =)
