THE SAVAGE COTTAGE Do you know what "assonance" means? It means getting the rhyme wrong! As the great poet Spenser once said... er, well I forget! I'm sure it was also very interesting!
RIOT GIRL: How ironic that Kurt and Courtney was screened on Hallowe'en. Yes, well-known vampires that they are!
THE FAT CONTROLLER I had this friend once; well he wasn't really my friend, I hardly knew him in fact, oh... just forget it. Consider it forgotten!
THE ANONYMOUS DREAMER OF ROCKSTARS
I'm not telling you what I did with Kurt Cobain in my dream (!) but I can tell you a psychologist's evaluation of your dreams.
Freud said dreams are reminders of things that happened to you in earlier life and/or unfulfilled wishes.
So unless you were Elvis or Kurt in your previous life, then your main ambition is to be a rock star.
Good Luck!

FRIENDS, ZINERS:
To you I bring great news. In my local paper recently, I noticed an article about Teletext, and so read on.
And there, immortalised forever, I read of - Club 142. Page after page of devoted teenage readers, insightful (ahem) views and poetry.
OK, so they got our name wrong, but the wheels are in motion. The road to 'Ziney world domination has begun.
WHAT THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR
Why are you all so obsessed
WITH WORLD DOMINATION? TELL ME!
ZINERS,
Tables are very useful because without them we would have to eat off our laps; and chairs are useful because without them you would have to stand up to eat off the table.
Life would get so uncomfortable without either so they both get an equal score. Debate solved.
Let's have a new debate now. How about cats v dogs as pets?
PS: Wild Bill H, keep the Westerns coming.
BUTCH ACCOUNTANT and THE YUPPIE KID
Hey, You people think up some
REALLY INTERESTING DEBATES (NOT)!
DEAR BOY WITH LIAM HAIR:
How small and petty you are to steal words from Parappa The Rapper! First we had Sexy Snake doing this, now you!
Are you plotting to steal all the words to naff tunes? Is this your plan to rule 'Zine? Try again, peasant! I AM QUEEN!
PS: Dogs don't do Kung Fu. You know what I mean!
TEENYBOPPERS DAYGLO SHORTS
You illiterate minions, there'll
ALWAYS BE ENOUGH WORDS FOR 'ZINE!
ALL THOSE INFATUATED OUT THERE:
She moved over towards him. Her long black hair swept across her shoulders and her blood-red lips intimidated him.
He didn't want to be her prisoner any more. Taking a deep breath, he concluded he was falling for her.
Her mysterious figure intrigued him. He'd recognise it anywhere. If only she'd told him her name.
He sighed and looked down.

Who says poetry is dead? Not
SURE ABOUT THE ASSONANCE THOUGH!
