Who can read a poem, perhaps one here below… or one from another up-to-date song (use http://www.letssingit.com) in the most convincing fashion. Perhaps in the speediest way… whilst eating crackers! (May need to go outside for this one!)
Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
Put crepe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.
He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
The stars are not wanted now; put out every one:
Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
Pour away the ocean and sweep up the woods:
For nothing now can ever come to any good.

My baby don't mess around
Because she loves me so
And this I know fa sho (Uh!)
But does she really wanna
But can't stand to see me walk out the do'
Don't try to fight the feeling
'Cause the thought alone
Is killing me right now (Uh!)
Thank God for Mom and Dad
For sticking two together
'Cause we don't know how:
Hey-ya by OutKast
EDMUND BLACKADDER
When the night is dark,
And the dogs go 'bark';
When the clouds are black,
And the ducks go 'quack';
When the sky is blue,
And the cows go 'mooo';
Think of lovely Queenie,
She'll be thinking of you.
a poem by Queenie
I do a bid
loose a rib
Bust a cap
trustin' that
Run up the heaven doors
exchange my life for yours
Leave a steak out the door
mi casa, su casa
Just remembered to turn the lights off in the hall
My brother from anotha pop
minus one shot
We need em for G-Money man
we all we got
From the stoop to the big dudes
stoppin' us from playin' hoops
And us gettin mad
throwin' rocks off the roof
Straight thuggin' man
i thought we would never progress
But look at us now man
we're young execs
