"Short Poem Competition Revival"

I don't need to introduce this. It;s the Short Poem Competition. I give you a word, you create literary verse about it and then, magically, a winner is produced. The winning date shall not be announced. Ever.

The words you have to base your brilliance around are below

'(Park) Bench'

Get styling, you hip young cats.

WINNER

Dream Team

[I]It's so poorly acted
acted so poorly, it is
how it enthralls me
with actors acting so poorly
is truly beyond belief

2 Gamecubes, 1 House

[I]My brother,
obsessed with my console collection,
decided late last night,
to seel his christmas presents
and join me in the purple.

Boughtoday, it had a silver coat -
platinum, some might say.
A control pad to match,
but that I did snatch
and gave my old Wavebird away.

The Smiths

[I]This Charming man
Nowhere fast
Panic
Ask
The boy with a thorn in his side
WHY DID YOU HAVE TO BE SO SELFISH?
If you've going to make music
music as brilliant and amazing as you do
then why must you tease us?
Either get back together
or burn each and every copy of 'The Queen is dead'
as I can't stand to think
that there will never be any more


[S] I think I preferred over-enjambment

Musical Talents

[I]I have an array of talents
thumbs that look like smiley faces
hair like old Karel Poborsky (with far more style)
a massive schlong
but, unfortunately
Hendrix, Vai and Hanson shall not be troubled
as, in my musical bank
my account is empty.

Geeeee-tah

I play the guitar
Or does it
Play me?

With its poor sound
Slowly becoming better
And my ears becoming blind
To the crock-ups.

My bad decision

[I]I stare at the screen
Easiest Glory
Easier Glory
Easy Glory
Death

Being who I am
(a man, despite the hair)
there was only one choice

At my funeral
I had played
'White Riot'
by The Clash

If only I'd have not chosen sick mode
On Tony Hawks Underground

Puyo Pop Mini-review

[I]Colourful, Bubbly
Deceptively deep
Fever mode made me weep

Like Tetris
Only less on-the-go
the XBOX version
is my £5 ho

:' (

[I]I'd so quit this job
If it weren't for the MILFs
And the flirty teens.
But ... but ... 9 hours ...
It's just ... not nice

Tony Hawk's Underground mini review

[I]Had a few hours play on the thing
and I am still yet to go inside
Underground?
More like 'Tony Hawk's Outside-in-the-sunlight'

Snapshot of my day

[I]Today, I caught a bus
travelled to Stockport
alone

Today, I drew £20 out
and bought 2 games
alone

Today, I've spent 2 hours
in transport
alone

But,
although much of it was alone
I am still 119% better* than you

[S]*estimate
