Dedicated to the late Spike Milligan!
Terence Alan Patrick Sean Milligan,
Yes, that's the mad manic man!
Prince Charles adored him and his humour,
Prince Charles is mad himself, so goes the rumour!
Spike was one of the zaniest on TV,
Clowning about for all to see.
Mad antics, amidst his manic depression,
Something he battled to control, often no suppression.
His genius was as a comedian, writer and musician,
His humour was to humour what magic is to a magician.
Spike was a member of the goons,
He wrote and performed in it, loonie tunes!
Born in India in April 1918,
Of English Irish Origin he was a scream!
He served in the Royal Artillery,
Such fun amidst his camaraderie!
Spike teamed up with Eric Sykes and the gang,
Satirical comedy was made famous with a bang!
Acting the goat, in sheer lunatic style,
Spike got away with insulting Royals for a while!
Spike and Prince Charles were very close mates,
Until Spike died and landed at the pearly gates!
On his gravestone Spike wanted an epitaph,
"I told you I was ill" it stated, what a laugh!
Funny to the end was Spike, for sure,
But Spike was lonely and sad amidst his bio-polar.
The roller coaster of moods suffered poor Spike,
At times life was a real struggle and a hike.
But in the "Idiot Weekly" and "The Goon Show",
Spike raised many a laugh don't you know!
Admittedly a loonie, Spike was the man,
His humour like no other made him second to none.
None with Spike's insane black satirical slant,
Totally outrageous behaviour and incessant rant.

Contest Perspectives of the Brilliantly Insane by
SoulfulBubbles
Option 4 selected.
Hey I am KasS K Bubbles
In general I am looking for graceful in-depth originality
and powerful metaphors, a clear voice, and or a powerful
flow and tone. I am pretty flexible, and positive but i can
have high standards and low expectations.
i (usually) give soft assertive critiques or suggestions. I
think they are important for growth and learning so if you
do not want them AT ALL then please put that in your notes.
Please thoroughly look at each option.
~Option 1:
Write in another persons perspective, someone who you think
is insane mad or twisted in some extreme way but also
someone who is also extremely gifted. I want to feel their
intensities and i want to feel like you understand them
completely even tho i may or may not.
~Option 2: If you would like to write about your own
madness/insanity then write it from the perspective of
outside looking in. Or as if some complete stranger saw
everything that makes you, you (or just a big part) and how
that stranger would react.
Heres the trick... i want to feel as if that stranger did
not understand you but yet you understand his
non-understanding because your suppose to be in his shoes
looking at your own
~Option 3: Write in the perspective of Society as a whole.
make Society a character. Really think about it, theres
alot to it. And for brownie points write how The character
Society would react to someone outside of them.
~Option 4: Take someone you know or some crazy famous
person and write IN their perspective ( Micheal Jackson,
Britney spears etc)
Option 5: You-Tube make me feel the the moment and your
perceptions
coming soon
option 6: the front page picture.i might put up a few
picture later..
Please Read the rules
1. Think outside of your brain. And Outside of your world.
2. Be open minded, respectful
and make common sense common.
3. write as little or as much as you like.
4. Write whatever you like How you like and i dont care
about labels.
5 my one pet peeve: dont copy an old classic song or poem
and enter it saying u edited some, it fine to be inspired
by one just dont copy it.
"Make common sense common." write this in your notes.
^-^
I am open and greatfull to suggestions and point donations.
~Enjoy~
