"Through space and time, I send this chime. Bring forth a crew, who's hearts are true. Let them host a pub for all, from coast to coast, answering the poetry call.....Damn flies, I never said I wanted you guys. If a did I would have said send a crew who's hard on the head.....oh no look what you did, I forgot to close the lid."
Suddenly my bed was rough and rather cold, I awoke thinking it was mold. But as the cat looked around, I didn't know where I was found. I looked from side to side, wondering if I crossed life's divide. But if I did this was hell, as an assortment of characters followed me down the well.
I slapped myself thinking it was a dream, desperately wanting to hear my new theme. Yet as I closed my eyes I didn't awake, meaning this wasn't fake. I cracked Pat upside the face, hoping he'd know this place. But he seemed just as confused as I, OK he was more confused, I won't lie. Cassie leaped up rather fast, as she saw some of the other cast.
That Voiceover Guy loon was here as well, as was Gung and Ho who gave a yell. Those three were no wiser than I and of course I saw a glowing red eye. He awoke on the ground looking at me side to, wanting to make a pair of slippers out of you know who. He shouted blame, asking why I was playing this game. Why I brought him here on the street, with no shoes on his feet, throwing him on the ground like a worn out raisin, thus it was a typical rant by the self declared God, Duke Drazin.
Yet all of us kept our cool, after some loud mouth remarks from that tool. As the only building in sight, was "Merlin's" basically telling us to come in, with a big red "open" light. So in barged that Drazin mook all hot under the collar, ready to give the bar keep a hollar.
Gung and Ho still looked out of it, but followed Drazin and his hissy fit. Voiceover guy had nothing to say, so he joined the fray. Cassie and Pat looked at the cat, indicating we should steer clear, but there was just nothing else I fear. This pub was all that could be seen, everything else looked like a blank screen. As it was pitch black in every direction, like someone yanked us out of our existence for some collection.
So in we followed watching chairs fly, as Drazin was searching for this Merlin guy. As a chair came whizzing by, I noticed a piece of paper fall from the sky. It read, "one way out, give a shout", I shrugged dropping the thing, until a spotlight came on, over the place one was supposed to sing.
We all stared at the microphone, Drazin laughing in his usual tone. Stating how this guy was trying to get free acts and that was simply the lets
Face it Facts. But Drazin decided to play along, getting ready to sing a song. As he hoped this Merlin guy would show his face, allowing Drazin to bury him under this place. I figured it was a good time to plug my ears, but after a few Gung and Ho cheers, Drazin began. I can say I'm still not a fan.
It's tough to be so great
As no one can relate
To the powers of a God
My voice can shake a quad
That's just one impressive trait
The rest is too dVerse
And can do far worse
So avoid Drazin like the plague
And if that was too vague
This once Drazin will hit reverse
Stating you will fry
And most likely die
Becoming slippers on Drazin's feet
As Drazin walks Drazin's Godly beat
So come don't be shy
Get on up here cat
Don't hide behind Pat
As Drazin has filled Drazin's dime
With some type of rhyme
And now it's time to squash you flat
As he stated his final line, a bright light started to shine, and poof Drazin was gone, it was like we were in the world of Tron. But would singing secure our release or simply make our existence cease? We took a vote and even with huge doubt, decided this was the only way home, as clicking our heels three times didn't work, so why not sing into the chrome.
We found some straws and each took one, as Voiceover Guy got to start off the fun.
Follow me to a place where the bells toll in your face
Where the residents are dVerse, yet won't steal your purse
Where poetry runs the show and lines are aglow
Off the page, all the rage
Come and engage, no matter your age
Whether rain or snow, just get up and go
A chair will be saved, the street will be paved
The doors are unlocked, the bar will be stocked
The tunes will blare, the words will have flare
You can even pop a vein, as someone caters to the insane
It's a cheapo's delight, day or night
As there is no fare, come if you dare
Fill your canteen, get glued to the screen
With words taking flight on the first OpenLinkNight
He gave us a smile and disappeared off the tile. Again there was no trace, just like Drazin and his ugly face. So up went Pat, having no idea what to say unlike the cat. Although as if there was ever any doubt, it wasn't hard to tell he'd use movies for his shout.
Did we all Die Hard in the night
Maybe Critters caused this plight
Either way I think Heaven Can Wait
No matter if this is a Serendipity trait
As I'll be a Lethal Weapon if need be
Sending this place Out to Sea
I'll employ the Lion King
Hey at least it isn't Grease I have to sing
Maybe we've been Bad Boys
Or Gremlins got in our toys
Transporting us Back to the Future once more
Taking the We're Back tour
Because Chances Are we are still alive
For we have such a Braveheart we will thrive
Meaning we won't have a Breakdown
So Catch me if you Can you Merlin clown
This isn't Dawn of the Dead
With an Eagle Eye one can see it's all in our head
You can make use think it's the End of Days
But Equlibrium is where my mind stays
So I wave away this Fortress of yours
Going back to the Frequency of my shores
For The Magnifiecent Seven we may be
But let me out now or The Full Monty you will see
As Gung and Ho laughed at the threat of Pat, he disappeared from Merlin's mat. I guess this Merlin guy didn't want to see all of him, every single ummm limb. Those two goons were the next to jump on stage, acting as if they were all the rage.
Hey Gung lets go
It's time we put on a show
Hey Ho calm down
They can hear you across town
Gung I never knew there was a town here
Just this pub with that Merlin puppeteer
I wasn't being serious Ho
That you should know
Wow we are really dVerse Gung
Maybe we should go on the road while we're young
Yeah and make lots of dough
Wouldn't that be fun Ho
Look here's a glow
I guess time is up for Gung and Ho
Weren't we grand
Give us a hand
For Gung is Hung
And Ho is...slow...can row..hates snow...away we go
My ears were never more thankful, to be rid of their bull. I didn't even know what to call that, as their song was more of a chat. I think Merlin just wanted them gone, so poofed them away with a yawn.
Now all that remained was Cassie and I. But we figured somewhere in the shadows, lurked this Merlin guy. So together we decided to finish this so called fun because if he was around, it would be better to face him two on one. So up we went to the stage, when out came this man dressed as a mage.
He simply picked up a chair and took a seat, acting as if he was in for a treat. Cassie and I both tried to make the leap, figuring we'd end this creep. But we were stuck to the floor and couldn't move no matter how much we swore. Out of nowhere a tune started to play and we began to sing like some blue jay.
We have ourselves an ocean
With words too dVerse to ignore
So lets create a commotion
Providing a place to mingle and explore
Allowing us to discover
More and more as time goes along
Through the eyes of another
Creating a kinship through poetry's song
Building on each others feedback
Over a quick pub snack
As dVerse reaches for the sky
All will be seen eye to eye
If the road should split
Too bright to see, too dark to choose
The skills learned will never quit
Helping out through life's cruise
So attempt to take a break
Think before you pass on by
As missing out would be a mistake
And that's no lie
Building on each others feedback
Over a quick pub snack
As dVerse reaches for the sky
All will be seen eye to eye
Eye to Eye
He clapped for a second than waved goodbye, throwing his hands into the sky. A bright light came over us just as those before and when we opened our eyes we were back, snug as a bug, at our shore.
"Thank heavens I fixed that mistake, as although the cat will partake. This wasn't supposed to occur, as Pub's don't usually allow so much fur. So as I was saying before the flies, made me bring forth these guys. Bring forth two figures to take charge, named Brian and Claudia to make poetry large. With a dVerse poets pub, creating a magical hub. Now that should fix that, but I also see great things for this cat."
So it's anyone's best guess, what came out of that mess. But it sure was dVerse and I suppose it could have been much worse. Admitedly we also had some fun and so ends this new tale I've spun. So if you ever go through the looking glass, remember the experience you gained from reading the words of this little rhyming ass.
Later all, have a nice fall.
