Disclaimer: Although we've technically not named (many) characters in this poetry corner, I suppose it's proper to put this anyway. The characters all belong to the BBC and not us apparently…Sniff

Hiya, welcome to Whimsical Poetry of Doom! This started in History, when Catherine and I (working hard as usual) wrote a poem about a certain character to give to Simona. This then caught on, and we started writing poems for all the Merlin characters! Yay! Anyway, we've tried not to make it too obvious who each poem is about, but if you are a TRUE FAN you should get it! ;) It's all part of the fun, and whimsical-ness of said poetry!

Beware of occasional mild language (That's why it's a "T")! And also, we apologise for any British slang used that other nationalities may not understand, but at least it rhymes, eh?

We promise this will be updated weekly until we run out of characters. We have some in storage so updates should be on time... We hope... We apologise in advance if they aren't! We do also have lives, you know...

Anyway, we love you all for even bothering to read this ever-lengthening Author's Note and coming to read our whimsical poetry of doom! Now for our first poem… Enjoy!

- Eleanor


Basic Anatomy (by Catherine and Eleanor)

It starts at your head and ends at your toes,

No matter what happens, it's bros before hoes.

Your long luscious locks of silvery grey,

That crooked smile which brightens my day.

You taught me all that was good and right,

But I slept on the floor when "she" stayed the night.

Who in my words you always trust,

Except concerning matters of lust.

From jail, you bailed me many times,

(Insert here a sentence that rhymes!)

Time and again, you feed me cack,

Or nothing at all, you selfish quack.

You wish I could be just like you,

But I don't want a face like goo.

I am an idiot, or so I'm told,

But at least I didn't lick the gold.

When you do magic, you look a fool,

I wouldn't be surprised to see some drool.

You told a Welshman he would die,

But you just wanted to see him cry.

Bravely to battle you will go,

As long as you're chasing the Royal Hoe.

But, alas, I've gone off track,

You know I'll always have your back.


This one was particularly whimsical, and our poetry has improved with time, I promise! Have you guessed the character it's about yet? It should be pretty easy...

Oh, I also forgot to mention, beware of in-jokes. Sorry, some of the phrases are just our little inside jokes, I'm afraid you'll just have to go along with it! Don't be afraid to tell us what you thought of this, by the way, WE LOVE COMMENTS! (constructive criticism is accepted, but not necessarily loved as much. Meh, if it makes us better poets, I suppose...)

See you next week!
