Wile E. Coyote. I mean, what else was there to eat out there? Nothin' but rocks and cactus.
Shaken or stirred?

Why? Why are the French so very good at Electronica?
Hell if I know!

William in the forests of the white
blossoms at dusk time burning bright
O what mortal hand could I raise
to climb thy weirding promontory

Cong ratulations!

Where has he gone? He said I'd be safe here.
Where has he gone? Is he safe?
I know he stands better on his own, but together we are more stable than we could ever be apart.
Where has he gone? Oh.The long things are back, grasping. Am I going to rejoin him?
I hope so.
I feel so incomplete, so... off balance.
The long, pale things took him. The sound was awful.
I don't like the way their eyes stare at me from their throats.
Will I see him? Is he safe?

Down, down, down he went- the last to go, even as the world dissolved into nothing. Maybe he would meet everyone else on the other side. The lamp posts weren't telling.

Poured Hydrogen Peroxide in your ear?
Partied with a Power Ranger?
Worked alongside a butcher and some actors?

An avatar of death, a Frenchman, and a cat-man with no pants walk into the Cabaret.
Wait, you've heard this one?
Bugger.
The Cat-man spoke first, mouth agape, yellow eyes wide under a beige stetson. "Cor. Fancy, it is."
"Stranger indeed than my home, gentlemen. And this is saying something," replied the Frenchman, drinking it all and everyrone in, but much more critically.
SQUEAK, rejoined the tiny, toothy, tailed avatar. The three stood resolutely, but seemed for the moment unininterested in moving forward as yet. Well, the tiny avatar did, but- even skeletal as his body is - made a small show of waiting impatiently for his companions to get on with it.

The bones stood up and danced
to hear such merry tune
Edge flashed in the dark
snicker-snack by light of the moon
Tap, Line, Step, Waltz,
until the last squeak echoed
Cross the floor
and it was over all too soon

Feebleminded scientists
rock the discotheque
Funeral for the last electron
where is everyone?
pretty much all ice skating
Should be working at work
Dear Fraudboy:
Leave a message,
I'l reply when I can

Hold me closer, Tony Danza
The planes in Spain fall
mainly in the rain
Goin' to the chapel
and we're gonna get buried
Don't go ridin'
on that long black train
bound for nowhere
Power corrupts
with great responsibility
No man is a
seven nation army
It's just a jump to the left
to cross the road
I walk the lime
I walk the lime

SQUEAK.

SQUEAK, comments the rat skeleton in a black, hooded robe.
A young man dressed in the finest silks and satin, with immaculately coiffed hair, looks up from fastidiously tearing the pages from a hardback copy of 'Twilight' and tearing each one in half before letting the pieces flutter to the floor.
The cutlass at his hip bobs slightly as he sets down the abused book and turns to the audience.
"I believe what my commander means to say is 'Once or twice a month'."
He smiles, tight-lipped, and turns back to his methodic work.

We'll go for a walk and the toilet'll explode
when the shit hits the fan
we'll remember to lend a hand
the office is full, it's time to go
It's a wonderful day to be outside
(even though it's really loud)
No-one else is around;
it's nice not having to work
but I'm getting kind of lonely

It escaped Cara and Stern's notice for the time being that so cursed, Cara would now be casting magic every single time Tora used some, and vice versa.
This would not remain true for very long.
-
The shade looked at Tora sadly. Like all spirits, it had been traumatized to the core by the transition from the ethereal realms to the earthly ones, and like all spirits, its own emotions bled directly into the minds of the physical.
Alas, as well, its fear had been so intense that while a creature of the immortal could endure the unpleasantness (with trepidation), something whose understanding was still limited by five senses stood no chance of standing against the pain and terror.
Such as the luckless apprentice lying unconscious by the fire.

We remove scars, chins, and asses.
We tune up cars, pianos, and fish.
Dances if you want them,
No children left behind.
No parking in rearview mirror.
Objects may be closer than they appear.
No fishing,
No shoulders,
No talking
Please return your seat to its upright and locked position
It's my creation

Footprints in the urinal
shoelaces in the ceiling
Wheeling and dealing
With feeling like lemmings
peeling paint from their
oranges on the footstools
of strife with Harvey McKay
It's all a sham plan
to shampoo your feet
and llamas until its too
late.

*hugs NightFae's ankle...viciously*

*piddles on your root*

That actually says exactly how it felt- it was heavy on the tantrum aspect, but I wouldn't call that a problem; violence is always more emphatic than peace, no?

Pulled recklessness and irresponsibility out of where? I didn't quite understand sorry.... :/
Ah. Out of the poem. Extreme impatient feeling, it evokes, to a reckless AND irresponsible level.
Rather neatly conveys someone who is/is about to do something very ill-advised, maybe even dangerous.
and that line that made me gag - you don't find that so cliche and unappealing?
Nope. Other than it's much longer, it flows with the rest (perhaps more lyrically than poetically, but still).
, however reads like it could be cut out entirely and not interrupt the poem at all.Sorry for the cheesyness
Does *that* line have any deeper meaning?

The Death of Rats,
he ate some spats,
all with his curds and whey
The Thane of Cawdor,
he shaved an otter;
a non-suggestive display
The Monk's Hood,
it did some good
in preventing tooth decay
The crocodile watched
he watched it all
and only smiled
