Poetry Corner

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

They fuck you up, your mum and dad.
They may not mean to, but they do.
They fill you with the faults they had
And add some extra, just for you.

But they were fucked up in their turn
By fools in old-style hats and coats,
Who half the time were soppy-stern
And half at one another’s throats.

Man hands on misery to man.
It deepens like a coastal shelf.
Get out as early as you can,
And don’t have any kids yourself.

Poetry Corner at CC
A place where odes from Doc reigned free
Whether limericks of quirk
Or 5 7 5 Haiku
Man nor thing was safe
Oh yes 'tis true

Will fail to match
His efforts here
Due to talents dirth
For me I fear

But this attempt
Must I endeavor
As to know you Doc
Was my great pleasure

This poor poem
I hope you view
From whence you landed
To a life now new

He passed?

Fuck me. I'm in tears. Jesus H. One of the wittiest, funniest posters ever. I just spent a week in hospital in Kelowna. Didn't even get a room. Bed in a hallway withectwo seperate nfections and gave enough blood to fill a five gallon pail.

RIP Doc.

Nothing confirmed but it’s looking unfortunately so.

I ain’t much for writing poetry but in honour of Doc here is Tom Waits reading Charles Bukowski’s - The Laughing Heart.

Some old school Canadiana from the late Norm MacDonald. :lol:

Norm Macdonald performs a humorous, lengthy poem by William Henry Drummond. The piece recounts a story about a friend's journey and experiences. Expect a charmingly rambling and anecdotal performance.
