Feeling Gloomy Jarvis Signed Book Giveaway!

Hello fellow Pulp fans...
As you all know Indie God and erstwhile Feeling Gloomy DJ Jarvis Cocker has a lovely book about his lyrics out in a few weeks! And because he likes us so much at Feeling Gloomy, he's given us a few SIGNED COPIES to give away to deserving Gloomy regulars.
So how to get your hands on one? Well, in true Gloomy participatory style, we need you to come up with some sad lines of your own, in the form of a Gloomy poem. You can enter by email (info@feelinggloomy.com) or better still, bring your completed opus of melancholy down to Feeling Gloomy on Sat 22nd where we will judge it and award prizes before a jealous crowd...
So, write a few lines about something that saddens you and you could spend the autumn catching up with the inside of Jarvis's mind.

Ahem...

 

Feeling sad is pretty bad
But not so bad if you meet your Dad

Don't feel forlorn you've gotta blista
Call your Sista she'll assist ya.

Feeling Glum is pretty dumb
But nothing beats plum tea with Mum

Oh so sad you've lost your luvva
Such a shame she's with your Brutha

Find a friend who's back won't bend
Soon your heart is on the mend

A pretty fantastic piece of work I think you'll agree...

I thought it was worth a stab if it meant a slim possibility of a free signed book.

I was thinking about writing something but I might as well not bother entering now, thanks for that. You never told us you were a professional poet.

Ha ha! Do you not think it's a bit derivative of TS Eliot though?

Exactly like him. Did you remember to email it? Good luck, but I warn you, I am thinking of entering, and I am the master (or mistress)of gloom. Yours was impressive, but...... you wimped out with a happy ending!

You're right, I blew the ending! Can't unemail it though. "Done bun can't be undone" as a wise man once sent.

I had a massive real life happy ending today, so don't worry, on the back of this my spirit of gloom will be rubbish and my entry will suck.

The hole in my heart got mended today, but not by a man. My babies are coming back :). I went for the final hearing in court yesterday and today, the end of a long and bitter battle of well over a year to get access to them from their dad And today I got my happy ending! I'll probably regret posting something so personal on here tomorrow, but right now I am so HAPPY I want to shout it out to the world and do cartwheels down the street.

So as you can see, my gloomy poem will be rubbish (there's always a downside)

Yes, it is. Wondering how I am going to adjust to life without being bitter and miserable now! No excuse for being a bitch anymore :(

Haha - you've got me pegged!

Listened to Sunrise on my ipod on the bus ride home - it has never sounded so good to my ears.

Now there's an idea for as thread - what Pulp have you listened to inspire you, or see you through something in your life?

This one time I was stuck in a room and I went through the door but the next room was exactly like the first room and the room after that and the room after that. This went on for sometime. Long story short... I'm still in the room. Don't know if there's any Pulp songs that would apply to my predicament. But even if there is, I very much doubt it will help get out this room!

Giving up the drugs might help.

I'm hoping that so few people enter this competition that I win a book by default.

Actually something rather special happened to me today and sorry Anet, but your good news rather pales in comparison: I went into The Works and they had the complete Sookie Stackhouse boxset of books for £15... Oh yeah!

Well I've entered as well with a very dark and depressing poem of my own...
