Charge of the Spam Brigade

[An Tarbh]

Half a league half a league,
Half a league onward,
All in the valley of Spam
Spammed the six hundred:
'Forward, the Spam Brigade!
Post with the spam!' he said:
Into the valley of Spam
Spammed the six hundred.

'Forward, the Spam Brigade!'
Was there a mod dismayed?
Not though the admin knew
Someone had blundered:
Theirs not to make reply,
Theirs not to reason why,
Theirs but to do and die,
Into the valley of Spam
Spammed the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them
Neg repped and warned
Stormed at with shot and shell,
Boldly they spammed and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell
Spammed the six hundred.



Trashed all their posts were,
Trashed as they turned in air
Searhing the forums there,
Charging an army, while
All the world wondered:
Plunged in the battery-smoke
Right through the line they broke;
Cossack and Russian
Reeled from the warning-stroke,
Shattered and sundered.
Then they spammed back, but not
Not the six hundred.

Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon behind them
Neg repped and warned;
Stormed at with shot and shell,
While spam and post fell,
They that had spammed so well
Came through the jaws of Death,
Back from the mouth of Hell,
All that was left of them,
Left of six hundred.

When can their glory fade?
O the wild spam they made!
All the world wondered.
Honour the spam they made!
Honour the Spam Brigade,
Noble six hundred!

'Neg repped and warned' doesn't rhyme with Hundred

Why not try neg repped and wondered? Although I'm preobably the only one who would suppose the neg repped spammers would wonder why they received it.
If that doesn't fit in well, use blunderd again?

I'm guessing Alfred would turn in his grave at seeing it But it's a nice mix of old and new

 

[An Tarbh]

it's all in the pronunciation, neg repped and war-ned, like lear-ned

 

[Laetca]

war-ned still doesn't rhyme with hundred

I remember it from last year. Was one of the better classes we had.

 

[An Tarbh]

bah it does in my ear, we'll call it poetic license!!!

Haha great stuff.

You should send it to each spammer along with the warning PM :bana:

Not sure every person will know what it's a parody off. However sad that might sound.

Add in a "Thank you Lord" or "Thank you Alfie" or something like that. Or to make it even more obvious, Lord Alfred Tennyson.

I wouldn't have known what it was a parody of until last year when we did shakespeare...we veered off on extremely different tangents and Tennyson just happened to be someone the teacher started rabbiting on about, and in the end we analysed some of his works.

 

[An Tarbh]

well I would imagine to all and sundry that it's a parody, that much is obvious, not sure it really matters who it's a parody of though, they only need to get the content.
