Round Table Revisited

[just_me_karen]

And so Lord of the String said unto the peoples, "Go forth anew. Seek a land you can call your own."

The people saw it was good.

So, on the last day the people said their solemn goodbyes and began the long journey to the promised new land.

And so began the new land and its people were joyous!

Welcome, to the Return of the Round Table known as...

"Round Table Revisited" (RTR)

So are you saying that the stringer myth implies that those people were blockheads, full of wind, old and
weatherbeaten?

No, I'm saying the string weather forecaster is a well known joke,that was given an airing many moons ago on the old RT thread.

And speaking of implied meanings: Horrible spelling, atrocious use of leet writing, grammar incomprehensible and deals thoroughly with illegal games and material: should not be approached without a dictionary  (Urban Dctionary definition of lollieman)

Thank you for clearing that up elephant,
I'm not sure exactly what you're implying, lol.

Is it that you consult a dictionary before every post?
It would be nothing short of tragic to make a spelling
area, especially in your field of expertease.

Fortunately I've never needed to make a spelling area, others have been there done that  already and I keep the results of their labours (Roget's Thesaurus and The Oxford English Dctionary.) close at hand whenever I'm writing.

"Waves" to Tas back there.. I know you love your  strings 🙂

To make a spelling area?

Does the same apply to poetry.?
A. A Milne, Shakespeare, write fine pieces of poetry,
While others slightly change the wording, and
Claim themselves a poet.
I don't think that's what is meant by poetic justice.
Would not the same person, being of that mind and
Nature, plagiarise any piece of literature, and call it their own. What says the wise old elephant about them bananas?

Plagiarism: the practice of taking someone else's work or ideas and passing them off as one's own.

e.g a chunk of Michelle Obama's speech being passed off by Melania Trump as her own words

Parody: an imitation of the style of a particular writer, artist, or genre with deliberate exaggeration for comic effect.

e.g Lewis Carols poem:

How doth the little crocodile

Improve his shining tail

And pour the waters of the Nile

On every golden scale!

How cheerfully he seems to grin

How neatly spreads his claws

And welcomes little fishes in

With gently smiling jaws!

Which is Is a parody of an earlier moralistic poem by Isaac Watts that starts:

How doth the little busy bee

Improve each shining hour

And gather honey all the day

From every opening flower

(as far as I know, nobody ever accused Lewis Carrol of plagiarism)

Poetic Justice: the fact of experiencing a fitting or deserved retribution for one's actions

(Though I'm not quite sure what this has to do with either plagiarism, parody or any of the poets you mentioned)

I guess a good example of poetic justice would be if one pestered the  mods on a chat board  to ban another poster and then  got banned oneself  for constantly making those demands 

[282eecb2b518b00a18f5b4fde8ac47aa1461997566]

Yes, I can see how that would be poetic justice.

[282eecb2b518b00a18f5b4fde8ac47aa1461997566]

Poetic justice could also apply to a thug, while he was off trashing someone's house, his own home
had fallen into a sink-hole, and disappeared, forever.
