Dalek poetry

[kerravonsen]

Prompted by a nutty exchange on GenFicCrit, I hereby challenge everyone to a Dalek Poetry meme.

The Rules:
1. Poems must rhyme.
2. Every verse must have the word "exterminate" in it.
3. Verses must be at least four lines long (though you could just leave it at that).

For example:

Exterminate! Exterminate!
Your processes we terminate!
Your plants will never germinate
Because we will exterminate!

Exterminate! Exterminate!
Your planet we will dominate!
The Daleks will predominate
Because we will exterminate!

Exterminate! Exterminate!
No matter how you ruminate
The Daleks will illuminate
Because we will exterminate!

Have I ever mentioned my overwhelming fear of daleks?

No?

Okay.

That's excellent! I don't dare compete.

[kerravonsen]

Aw, give it a go!

The problem here is that I believe you have written the definitive Dalek poem, and nothing else will likely ever come close.

::thinks hard:: Hm. I have never seen kerravonsen in person; perhaps she really is a Dalek!

Anyway. I will try, just to keep you happy. But it may take a day or two. I notice you don't say that exterminate has to be one of the rhyming words, is that right?

I'm too brilliant to be a Dalek. (evil grin)

That's right. It would be too hard otherwise, since there's only two words that rhyme with "exterminate".

Fair point. Though now I see you might be Davros.

there's only two words that rhyme with "exterminate".

That's if you rhyme three syllables. If you go for two, there's tons. Eliminate, subliminate, elucidate, capitulate...

Anyway. Must go think now...

Dalek Blues?

Not sure about a poem, but I can manage a shamelessly trite blues.

Well I woke up this morning, found the time was gettin' late.
Yeah, I woke up this morning, found the time was gettin' ever so late.
So I charge up my exterminator
And I proceeded to exterminate.

While I was exterminatin', I found myself beginnin' to think.
Yeah, while exterminatin', I really found myself beginnin' to think.
So if I can't find nuthin' to exterminate,
I could always go and try unblockin' a sink.

Then I came across the Doctor, he's the enemy of my race.
Yeah I came across the Doctor, you know that guy jus' pops up all over the place.
I tried to exterminate him,
But he got away with some smug look on his face.

Now the BBC jus' told me, we're comin' back on Doctor Who.
Yeah the BBC jus' told me, we ain't gonna be on no BBC 2.
I jus' hope we get to exterminate,
Coz otherwise we'll be left with nuthin' to do.

LOL! Oh that is very grinworthy.

No fair =P

Bah. That completely rules out a Dalek Haiku =P Where's the fun in that?

Re: No fair =P

[kerravonsen]

Where's the fun in that?
Finding the rhymes for "exterminate"?

Re: No fair =P

[http://users.livejournal.com/_finn_/]

Ah, but you see, nowhere in the rules does it state that you need to rhyme 'exterminate', merely that it has to be in the verse.

Re: No fair =P

[kerravonsen]

Are you complaining about not having a hard enough challenge or is it simply that you hate rhymes?

Re: No fair =P

[http://users.livejournal.com/_finn_/]

Not at all =) Rhyming is so mainstream =P

And haiku are just plain entertaining, especially with interestingly odd subject matter.

Re: No fair =P

[kerravonsen]

Then I suggest you write one anyway...

[lizamanynames.livejournal.com]

I can't leave a challange like that unanswered....

I exterminate
because I - like all my mad race
all other life hate

Ryming Dalek haiku. \o/

[kerravonsen]

Cool.
