Honorverse Humor or lack thereof.

Chief, "So Mange what have you got for us today?"

Mange, <A guest poet, another of my imaginary friends. May I present Bullwinkle J Moose of the Rocky and Bullwinkle Show and a Honorverse poem?>





"Oh no! More rotten poetry!"

Bullwinkle, "Hey, I resemble that remark! We poets have sensitive feelings!" Stalks off the stage.

<Now you did it he was going to draw a rabbit out of his hat!>

"Knowing Bullwinkle more likely a Hexapuma, you stupid six limbed walking flea circus."

<Better a flea circus than looking like the Goodyear Blimp, fatso!"

Poker, Mange, and Bullwinkle

Chief, "Well since Dame Alice sailed to Beowulf's aid in A Raising Thunder need to add a line to:"


The Beowulfian Ladies:
By CPO Poker Mind and SCF Mangy Fur

Sung to the tune of of the traditional British sea shanty Spanish Ladies, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZfYtCLA23s

Farewell and adieu to you, Beowulfian Ladies,
Farewell and adieu to you, ladies of Beowulf;
For we've received orders for to sail for old Manticore,
But we hope in a short time to see you once more.

We will rant and we'll roar like true Manti sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all across space once more.
Until we strike in the orbit of old Manticore;
From Beowulf to Sphinx is a hundred light years and more.

We hove our ship to with the worm hole sou'west, boys
We hove our ship to, deep sorrow at the sight;
'Twas forty-five days since the treacherous attack,
So we squared our shoulders revenge for to take.

We will rant and we'll roar like true Manti sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all across space once more.
Until we strike in the orbit of old Manticore;
From Beowulf to Sphinx is a hundred light years and more.

The first land we sighted was the ruin of Hephaestus,
The Ruin of Yalta Crossing, Black Water Clan and Treecat innocence;
We sailed by smoking Hephaestus, by the ruined yards, and O'l Landing
We assumed stationary orbit over Old Landing to await the Bastards.

We will rant and we'll roar like true Manti sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all across space once more.
Until we strike in the orbit of old Manticore;
From Beowulf to Sphinx is a hundred light years and more.

Then the signal was made for the grand fleet to fight,
And all hoped the enemy would surrender in the light,
But the missiles let go and ours in answer in a show stopper,
All spacers must cry at the carnage, the wrecked fleet a sight,

We will rant and we'll roar like true Manti sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all across space once more.
Until we strike in the orbit of old Manticore;
From Beowulf to Sphinx is a hundred light years and more.

Now the Solies thought they'd easily destroy
us by coming at our back through Beowulf
Dame Alice led us chasing the Solies out
So its hello again you fair Beowulfian ladies

We will rant and we'll roar like true Manti sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all across space once more.
Until we strike in the orbit of old Manticore;
From Beowulf to Sphinx is a hundred light years and more.

Now let ev'ry man drink off his full bumper,
And let ev'ry man drink off his full glass;
We'll drink and be jolly and drown melancholy,
And here's to the health of each true-hearted lass. (or 'soul')

We will rant and we'll roar like true Manti sailors,
We'll rant and we'll roar all across space once more.
Until we strike in the orbit of old Manticore;
From Beowulf to Sphinx is a hundred light years and more.

Gentle-beings, the Queen:

It happens sometimes, occasionally, once in a while. Of course, there is always the unnatural death of Duckk, although that happens only seldom.

Everyone around here has to Duckk occasionally to avoid the crossfire from the humour...........

Mange, <Ah Chief, Page two again.>

Chief, "Yep, and no brave soul came up with a good joke, you got one?"

<Kind of, What do you call a two-leg poster who voices wild unsupported claims of poor writing in the Honor Harrington Series on these forum while attacking Runs-For-Celery?>

"A Troll? A Flamer?"

<No, Speedy57.>

"Did you notice the offending thread was dunked by the Duckk?"

<The Duckk finally made ups his feather covered mind that the series of posts were slow spam?>

"Hey you six limbed walking flea circus don't insult the Duckk, you'll get us in trouble."



"Oops!"

So very sad this author cares not for his fans unless he has a new, poorly written book, hitting the stores.

At one time David Weber needed his readers? Now, Weber, takes us for granted.

I wil not buy anymore of his books until he learns the readers matter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BPL

The Duckk if the topic of the thread is worthy will lock contentious threads, but in this case it was removed.
