The Clock Crew Illiad

[Topcatyo]

Here's an idea that I got when I saw the title "Epic Rap Thread"

We make a gigantic poem about the creation of the CC, preferably made up and over-dramaticized (while still being noticeably things from the Clockcrew's real formation).
So, let's get started.
Please have your posts be 4 lines long and the rhyme scheme ABCB because I said so (you can make it ABAB or ABBB or BBBB if you so choose, just so long as the second and fourth line rhyme).

By the way, yes, I know Homer's Illiad was in hexamic dysppsoiajpsfa but apparently that shit's hard in English and I don't know how to do it so fuck that shit.

Here's to start off.

A man alone toils on his masterpiece
Working away for all to see
No one saw such a monument coming
Nor the revolution from the letter B

[Topcatyo]

On the canvas he wrote yon letter
And soon declared that was enough
Now all he had to do was exbit it
And prove his work was up to snuff

[DWARFINATORclock]

StrawberryClock's baneful wrath - resound, O goddess - that impo'd
infinite sorrows on the Newgrounders, and many brave souls loos'd
From breasts heroic; sent them far, to that invisible cave
That no light comforts; and their limbs to dogs and vultures gave:
To all which Jove's will gave effect; from whom first strife begun
Betwixt Tom, king of men, and Fulp's godlike son.

An then dat nigga got shot.

Strawberry Clock is the King of the Portal.

[DWARFINATORclock]

^ Now that's some Iliad for ya.

[Topcatyo]

The masterpiece was quickly being destroyed
By those who could not understand it's power
But, lo, when all hope was lost
A man saved the work in it's final hour.

[Marlin Clock]

For who he was they do not know
Though some suspect the King, Sir Tom
and so, the great red B retained,
there were to be a new kingdom.

[Topcatyo]

Onlookers lamented about the piece
and found it not to be to their liking
Although, secretly, somewhere there was a group
That found the magnificent letter to be rather striking.

[Topcatyo]

The artist celebrated his fortune
and soon cherished every insult and taunt
He enjoyed they frustration with his success
And his downfall they did want.

[Marlin Clock]

I don't think so. Rhyming is mostly an english thing, especially since, as far as I've seen, it's the easiest language to do it in.

Did the Iliad rhyme in its original greek?

By the way, yes, I know Homer's Illiad was in hexamic dysppsoiajpsfa but apparently that shit's hard in English and I don't know how to do it so fuck that shit.

As for if it actually rhymed, I have no idea.

[Topcatyo]

What was not excpected was a revolution
And for society to go through an evolution
Within the problem was a solution
Uh... more self-fellating stuff and then constitution

I doubt it. The English version seems to try to rhyme as much as possible though.

The piece I posted was an edited version of the first few lines of the Iliad btw.

I figured, but it's still a good addition.

It depends which translation you read. Chapman and Pope have a much different version of the story than Fagles and Knox. Pope and Chapman wrote the more poetic and romantic variation of the story. Fagles and Knox wrote the most accurate translation that could be given. There is some poetry and romanticism found in Fagles, but it's far more to the point.

Homer did rhyme quite often in his works but this can be seen far less when actually translated to English.

I have Chapman's version.

[Topcatyo]

The artist made more masterful pieces
Such as works like Donal Duck Porno or Dickey Mouse
What he could not see outside his window
Was a group of people coming to his house.

[Topcatyo]

Strawberry of Clock heard a knock on his door
To see strange men standing in his view
They told him they wanted to form a group
The artist agreed to join them too

[TorchClock]

This group, they grew large and wide
With their chests swelling with pride.
They made more creations, thought not as great as B
But they came close, so you can see.
