    The Jinn - 20 years ago today

    Again, a good example of the poetry of the late Tom Bishop (aka The Jinn), who actually passed away close to twenty years ago now.

    This, in fact, is probably one of his last poems.

    May he Rest in Peace.

    Was he the infamous "Tommy Tosser" I keep hearing about?



    PJR named Tom Bishop that, if my memory serves me well.




    Does your memory serve you well enough as to remember why?

    Dunce's trusted source defines "tosser" as "a contemptible, stupid, or irritating person, often implying they are arrogant or acting with self-importance. It is considered offensive and is similar in meaning to 'wanker'."

    I take it you two were friends?


    I think it was a play on words, back in those days someone was TOSed when they were known for losing an Internet provider for violating Terms of Service.

    Tom Bishop was quite a character as well as a pretty good poet.



    That's interesting.

    It probably incorporates both meanings.

    I think so, also.

    Interesting poem written in a "Modern poetry" style by the late Tom Bishop.

    It isd indeed. Karla kicked his ass.




    Correct, the infamous Karla Rogers vs. Tom Bishop plagiarism lawsuit that played out here on the poetry newsgroups.

    Look it up, it's in the Usenet archives.

    And so it goes.
