There once was a neighbor in Dublin
Who found poetry readings most troublin'.
Loads of prior convictions
But he’ll still dodge evictions
'Cause he’s clean and is no longer stumblin'.

If the man had been reciting Copa Cabana, he would have been shot.

Trying too hard to be good
even when trying to be bad
is too good for the bad
too bad for the good

Reciting poetry as bad as my bad prior example is a hanging offense in Texas.

A non-stop recitation of "Hiawatha" would have made me go 19th-Century on the guy's behind...

Incessantly reciting poetry? Rappers do that all the time, and they're not annoy... oh, wait — they're even worse!!!

I'm with MOTW. What this guy needs is a reading of "Jabberwocky" through a megaphone.

Uh - which one is the " I Tim?"

That should be "victim".

That's a cartoon I'd watch. Come to think of it, that WAS Saturday morning.

Bringin' iambic pentameter to a frying pan fight? Not much of a strategy.

I pray that I shall never see
A neighbor so upset with me
That drunk and high and angry he
Bursts in and cuts me poetry.

Padraig!
Bringin' iambic pentameter...
Really, this is a family blog

I fractured my iambic pentameter once. Had to be in a Shakespearean cast for a month.
