Isn't there more to winning
than being there at the end?
Or more to an argument,
than having the last, bitter word?
Are you so paranoid, that
you project your own failings
on others? Too self-important
to see any self-obsession?
Are we all each other, hiding
behind alternatives, but
you? Do you consider you
might -really- be less than right?
Of course not. Right is
part of self-righteous,
after all.

Now what inspired that I wonder?

This strikes a chord with me right now. And, in fact, I think it's very good.

Nice poem Ewan, now I have to continue with my discreet inquiry. Where were you at the time of the parody? Chuck has a watertight alibi. And have you ever worked as a butler? (Chuck's alibi).

cool lines Ewan

Unfortunately, I have no watertight alibi, but I do have an aluminium waterbed, will that do?
I have never buttled. I suppose Chuck, being the butler, could not possibly have done it, as that would be so cliched. However, I direct you to one of the films of his youth, and suggest you ask him what he saw.

*Tip-toes around cause of poem* Nonetheless it is a smashing piece Ewan ;)
Loved this part;
'Isn't there more to winning
than being there at the end?'
And the ending was briliantly brutal! Well done.

No dear Titor! I'm simply protecting you from Vatican's hitmen and Scientologists.

Well I hope you don't think I'm taken in by the friendly tone. It's an old stalker trick.
Crackersville | February 16, 2009 - 16:58
Is it? Ich had no idea.
chuck | February 16, 2009 - 17:35
Clearly an amateur stalker. I only respond to professionals.

Ihr habt einen Fehler gemacht, meine Herren: Ich habe nicht gern von Nichtprofis gestorkt werden. Ich habe den Staatspolizei uber euch Bescheid gesagt. Es wird nie solche Sachen auf diesem Website akzeptiert.
Heil Hitler!

Noch ein andere lautisch Versuch. So will ich nicht von Hawkwind angsprechen. Meine Sekunden will telefonen.

Laut der Regierungsentscheidung Nummer 666 alles wird hier im ABCGeschichte auf Deutsch geschrieben. Es gab zuwenig Disziplin beim Englisch. Uebrigens, ich habe nie soviel Spass gehabt seit der Anschluss!
