To yourself?

 

 

Must be some epic.

 

 

 

I forgot the punchline I hade set up for that one.

Wait a minute...

 

 

 

That isn't an epic poem!

 

 

I mean, thanks.

Yes, but how do you know?

Because epic poems are longer.

But how do you know?

I don't.

How do you know?

By reading.

How do you know? (Bet you didn't see that coming!)

That's no epic. Epic poems usually begin in medias res, include action on a grand scale, have a central hero(s) with superhuman qualities, and involve the supernatural; such as monsters, gods, etc. Also epic poems usually contain literary inventories, flashbacks, and are written in a lofty, majestic style. Ha.

Nope. Plural of "parenthesis" is "parentheses". Am I right, fellas? I mean, am I right?

Sorry, I meant the whole thing.

Yeah, the "Es" bit. Dead wrong. Am I right, fellas?

I wish you guys would stop using my catch phraises.

Sorry, I caught it. You shouldn't spread it around so much, Pixie!

I wish you guys would stop using my catch phrases.

But yours are the only cool ones around.

 

HA! Good fun!

Dolts. Am I wrong, friends? Am I wrong?

 

Epic poetry. I've read a lot of it. It involves a book with a bunch of words written on it. It originally evolved from oral poetry, which means folks stood around in each others living rooms or around a fire and recited long lines of the stuff to each other.

Ha! They didn't have "living rooms" back then Mr. McWrong.

Yeah! Living spaces in caves, maybe, but no rooms!

Epic poetry is da bomb! Just look at what it's given us: The Iliad, The Odyssey, Beowulf, Paradise Lost...
