vomitous profundis

this is my idea of lightening things up -- one of my favourite movies of all time is Princess Bride, and when Wesley fakes out Humperdink.

You are
the essence
of putrescence,

that piece of pie
with a soapy coating
of mold on the underside.

You are
the epitome
of boor,

that ugly sound
you make when you sleep,
is an insult to snore.

You are a
reeking,
vomitous mass --

a bully
without a victim,
you can't hurt me anymore.

It's buttercup and Wesley after the honeymoon.

[Lyn Anderson]

Ha I would love that thanks

[Delmar Cooper]

Wow, you are really good at insults. Kudos, I love a good string of maledictions.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks, it was inspired by Wesley's rant in The Princess Bride.:)

"he was always just a trifle hungry, he had no brothers or sisters, and his mother had died in childbirth. He was fantastically happy." That in itself just disturbing pink parodies of fairy tales phenomena. In a way great depiction in this writing as it isshort, restless, perhaps a few irrational statements just like the movie an amusing and effective way of setting us up for a certain kind of tale. Funny also he is able to insult snoring I hope he is thick - skinned.

Thankyou

[Lyn Anderson]

Thank you so much for the always insightful reviews.

"You warthog face buffoon."

One of the best scenes of the movie. Seriously, I love The Princess Bride. It might be single-handedly responsible for making me the hopeless romantic I am today. :)

Great poem too. Some good insults I need to add to my book.

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, exactly. I wanted to put my own spin on it with the same feel.:)

[jacob erin-cilberto]

great scene...especially the way Wallace Shawn fell over---both drinks poisoned...wonderful...

you capture it well..."my name is enigo montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die"----"he's just mostly dead"

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks a lot. I love that movie.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

yes,a favorite of mine also...i own it.

Beginning with the funny but ending with the meaning. And how bout that title:)

[Lyn Anderson]

If you haven't watched The Princess Bride, check it out, and if you have, you know the scene I mean

[Pryde Foltz]

Oh yes … it is coming back to me.

[Frieda P]

I still haven't seen the movie, but it's absolutely not necessary with the way you shoot right between the eyes.. Great music too....hate a bully.

[Lyn Anderson]

Okay, you get the movie. If you don't like it I would be shocked. And the scene I am talking about is funny as hell.

[Frieda P]

I'm going to rent it this weekend, the one with Peter Falk?

[Lyn Anderson]

So many wonderful actors in it, yes. Peter Falk is a narlrator of sorts. Anyway, it is amazing. Farmboy Wesley was an inspiration to me --:)
