Why do people ignore me?

Why do people ignore me?

Why is it that everyday people ignore me
going past without seeing me
favouring my neighbour instead of me
have I a large proboscis
is there a large pustule on my forehead
dripping ooze.

It's so annoying I cannot connect
with my human race
I have humour by the bucketful
perhaps people want to be sad
ignore me though at your peril
I'm more daring than some
for I have a gun.

...a gun?!

soop Sat 19-May-12 17:33:48

Sorry! Is this meant to be funny? I'm a not sure...

soop Sat 19-May-12 17:34:53

In fact, I find this scarey...Geraldine HELP!

Don't worry, it's only Ian42 who was on about encountering angels a while ago. He writes poetry too - although this one's a bit weird. Perhaps it's a cry for help...?

soop Sat 19-May-12 17:42:10

Anagram and that's why I'm worried...

I found the angels worrying, the gun is just plain scary!

soop Sat 19-May-12 17:48:55

I've reported to Geraldine. If it's meant to be innocent fun, then I lacking a sense of humour.

That sounds a very angry poem Ian is that how you are feeling.

soop Sat 19-May-12 17:51:56

Ian42 Please enlighten me.

I think Ian is trying to get into the head of a certain type of person who is resentful and lets it all boil over into an unprovoked shooting spree in revenge for perceived affronts. Am I right, Ian?

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 18:15:04

Yes, that's what came my mind too, Annobel.

jeni Sat 19-May-12 18:19:02

I would agree!

Ariadne Sat 19-May-12 18:20:56

Even so...odd. As is the poem. All very egocentric.

jeni Sat 19-May-12 18:22:03

I'm at peace, I'm tranquil
I'm a cloud, floating in the sky
Watching all the world go by
All is quiet all around
So, peacefully float, ignore all sound
Or things that would annoy!

Ariadne Sat 19-May-12 18:24:06

No! Don't want to be calm!

jeni Sat 19-May-12 18:26:19

I DO!
SO THERE![gron]

jeni Sat 19-May-12 18:27:10

Oh dear I've [groned]again meant grinblush

Is a gron like a grin
Or is a grin a gron?
can a gran do a gron
When she means a grin?
yes a gran
Can a gron
for a grin instead
Because we grans
Know a grin
When we see a gran gron.

Annobel Sat 19-May-12 18:30:57

We won't know the correct interpretation of the poem until Ian gets back to us, but aren't these psychopathic types meant to be egocentric? Isn't that the point?

jeni Sat 19-May-12 18:38:28

grin

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 18:52:20

Well, Ian42's certainly got our attention....wink

jeni Sat 19-May-12 18:53:25

Not mine!

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 19:07:57

Well you're here on this thread again, jeni! grin

Anagram Sat 19-May-12 19:15:57

So you could say, people aren't ignoring him any more.....?
