FCS focuses on promoting humour, offbeat poetry
and exploring things different

The Like-Minders Society (LMS) is a group of people who think like me. If you like different, unconventional work and enjoy all things whacky you have now become a member. Welcome.

LMS visits a number of venues in its pursuit of wisdom and mirth. This is one of
them

Welcome to the
LMS BUDDING POETS AUDITION SITE

Thalia (my Muse of Mirth) is here to assist me with today’s audition. She speaks in italic dialect. (language of the muses she tells me)

Who do we have waiting to take to the stage today Thale?

Little budding poet Layla Don…..

Of course, I do remember you Layla. You tried your luck recently on the LMS stage. Many of our Like-Minders probably missed it. I’m sure you’ll have better luck this time. We welcome all budding poets regardless of what stage they’re at.

Layla’s mum has also brought in a video of her progress as well Don….

Well Like-Minders looks like we’re in for a treat.

Layla’s mum, who’s with us also, says it’s a joint effort….

OK Layla/Layla’s mum take it away

Waaaaaaaaaaah ! By Layla

Our Chinese shop is closed Layla

 Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !

 MacDonalds is closed too

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah ! 

You’ll have to now eat mummy’s cooking 

There’s nothing I can do 

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah !

Mummy? Pizza Hut? Open?

 Sorry Layla no

 You’ll have to eat my cooking now

That’s just the way things go

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

I have set up the video for our Like-Minders to watch now Don…. 

Thanks Thale….

Like-Minders will have to click on the link below Don to see Layla ‘do her bit’

Thanks Thale….

Well Layla, you’ve certainly got some lungs on you. Much needed for open mic work. Perhaps mum you could help Layla develop a bit more control and positive direction in her poetry? Yes, she does seem a little headstrong and frustrated. We’re all feeling a bit bit frazzled at the moment Tell her I have to eat my mummy’s cooking and can’t go to MacDonalds either.. That might help.
