Question: Would you answer a ridiculous, infantile "challenge" with a bit of satire!?
Just a little while ago, I saw a common user here (yes, I'm aware that could be taken two ways, but both are correct) issue a ridiculous challenge to Iano!. She simply must be reasoned with!.!.!.

If you were one more prone to writing real verse
Instead of gesturing with hands on hips,
If you were one who’d chosen not to immerse
Yourself in placing on your shoulder chips,
If you had not twice beckoned so and taunted
One vastly better darling than yourself
And waited then upon your corner haunted
I’d not have thought you such a mental elf!.

If you had not stood there and made a foul show
With all your senseless muttering and squeals,
If you had not so well shown all you don’t know
To this assembled troupe of barking seals,
If you had not played injured soul to your horde
Of blind and eager suitors, swains, and fools
You might have led a better, brighter group toward
The acquisition of poetic tools!.

If you had been perhaps a little smarter
And not twice posted such a pile of crap,
If you had then been better dear, not tarter,
You’d not have played into this rhyming trap!.
Indeed, if you had thought first and retreated
And realized that you’d look base and trite
Then I could not so roundly have defeated
Your imbecilic challenge here tonight!.

My dear I’m certain now that you are steaming
Just like the pile of sentences you wrote
You can’t defeat me toots, you must be dreaming,
Your poetry is but a Post-It Note!.
I’m sorry dear if you are disappointed
But let me tell you plainly little miss,
Before I am dethroned and you’re anointed
You’ll first have to improve your silly p*ss!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

A masterpiece of fun, frivolity, pun and parody!. I doubt anyone will be able to compete with this sheer delight of poetic personification!. My only regret is, so eager are people to see Iano under every bed, that it is sure to be credited to me, thus depriving you of the accolades you so richly deserve!. Bravo, you have got to the heart of the matter!. Look at MD's remarks - what did I tell you!. It's almost a curse to be right all the time!.

"If" indeed!. Hurrah, Sir, on a job well done!. And as for the "gentleman" above, knowing the talent of the one responsible for the poem he slates, it was probably written in two minutes!. Far exceeds any attempt at humour that Bukkie-boy could attain!.

Hey, elys, I don't have to "bow out", gracefully or otherwise - I was never in!. You have to realize that I don't see you as any kind of threat to me, and consequently don't feel I have anything to prove - to you or anyone!. I'm not on here to promote myself as a poet, even though (no names mentioned) one of the more talented poets on this site (as recognised by yourself) happens to think I'm a darn good one!.

And now, I have a grave confession to make!. All you Martians thought you had only me, The Mighty Iano, to deal with, but it was an ambush - there's 2 of us! (And we're still kickin' all your butts!.)

And AM, you need to try and let this penetrate your neanderthal cranium - I don't block anyone, and neither do any of my avatars!. Can't speak for anyone else though!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

This seems more like a rant than a poem to me!.!.!. I am sorry but I do not see the merit in as poetry!. If you have a fight with someone, I think this is the wrong place for it, we are here to share and learn from each other not bicker and fight!.
