Passionate Cast Member

[SpectroMan]

For our English class, we had to imitate "The Passionate Shepherd to His Love." We could be anyone we wanted to, and so, of course, I chose to be a Cast Member. Here is the Poem.

The Passionate Cast Member to His Love

Come ride with me and be my Love,
And we will all the magic prove
That train and dark rides, hub and street,
And all the screaming mountains creek.

There will we sit in a teacup
And see the tourists go throw up,
By jungle cruises, to splash falls
Tiki birds sing their musical calls

There will I make thee horticultured gardens
And topiaries shaped like blue martians,
A belle in a dress, and a beast
And a candle welcoming all to feast.

A gown made from the worst array
Which is magical till the end of day,
Beautiful slippers made of glass,
That comfortably stroll to the next fastpass.

A crown of the finest crystal
Which will adorn your head at ball:
And if this magic may thee move,
Come ride with me and be my Love.

A crystal palace for breakfast
So lunch we may then happily pass,
Shall fill you on very long days
Prepared so that your smile may stay.

The tourist throngs shall dance and sing
For delight in early entry mornings:
If this magic thy mind may move,
Then ride with me and be my Love.

Considering I was an English major, write poetry myself and when in HS I worked on the staff of our monthly literary magazine I have to say that as an imitation of the poem in question (and I know it slightly) that is a very good one. I like it much.. although I may have not mentioned the um.. protein spills lol.

 

[SpectroMan]

Thank You. I'm sorry about the protein spill, but it was the only thing I could think of for that stanza. It does have a point though. I used it just to show how sad some of the sonnets. That's mild to some of the stuff we have been reading.

Hey that's excellent. I was thinking about writing a poem about WDW myself one day. Mine probably won't be in the same format as yours though. Where are you at in Louisiana? I'm in Baton Rouge. Great poem!

 

[Wilt Dasney]

very nice work

 

[bartman454]

Nice poem, by the way just curious what kind of grade did you get

 

[SpongeScott]

Yeah, interesting poem. I thought it was pretty good. Let us know your grade.

Why does everyone dread protein spills? What are they???
I honestly don't know :lol:

Protein spills are what happens when you
1. Drink wayyyy too much
2. Overestimate your tolerance for extreme rides
3. Ingest syrup of Ipecac

Visual aide: :hurl:

"Protein Spill" also goes by a number of different, more common (but unpleasant) aliases, including but not limited to:
Ralf, Hurl, Spew, Yak, Puke, Barf, Upchuck, and the ever-popular (in college anyway) "Bow down to the porcelain god" and "Talk to ralf on the big white phone"

Hope this clears it up, apologies to whomever I offended/made sick to their stomach.

Oh, and as a fellow english major, might I add (for the sake of everyone's general knowledge) that you <I>feel</I> NAUSEATED, and rides make you NAUSEOUS. You wouldn't believe how many people say "I'm nauseous" - which means that they're making people around them sick! :lol:
See? now you can feel smarter than everyone else.

Whew, I talk too much.
