"Bredlik" Meme Contest (100 SBD + 50 Steem to be won)

in #contest6 years ago (edited)

There are few memes that I really enjoy seeing over and over again. One of them is "y'all'd've", another one is "bredlik" (you might notice that they're both "linguistic" memes. I might be a bit of a nerd when it comes to that).

If you don't know "bredlik", you might want to check out know your meme or just look at this screenshot from the original Reddit post:



I know, I know, it's an old one. But I still love it. And I want to see more of it again because it has died down by now. What better way of achieving this than making a contest?


The rules

  • Write your own, original bredlik and post it as a comment (one entry per person, potential winners will be googled to confirm originality)
  • If you're a known spammer/scammer/plagiarizer, you're excluded from this contest
  • If you're caught stealing a bredlik from someone else, you're excluded from this contest
  • You have to stick to the proper "bredlik" structure. Here's a summary of how it works:

The anatomy of a cow poem, or ‘bredlik’

The poem is generally first person and begins with “My name is…”, unless part of a series; series are structured as dialogues.
Cow poems are in strict iambic dimeter.
A cow poem has the scheme XAXAxBxB.
The cow stanza is a 6-line stanza followed by a 2-line ‘punchline’, varying on “I [do the thing]//I lick the [thing]; much like Benadryl Cabbagepatch, the closer the conformity, the better the effect.
Spelling is more-or-less phonetic, especially for vowels, with some exceptions (classical cow poems make exceptions for “I”, notably) and certainly no numbers; the effect is often described as 'pseudo Chaucerian’. The grammar too is fairly standard.
Or to put it another way:
My naym is pome
And wen you noe
The rouls that mayk
My strukchur floe
And poeits bend
Tou hone ther art
I mayk you smyl
I tuch the hart

Have to say I got a little confused by the bredlik in the original Reddit post having the scheme of ABCB, the rules stating AABB, some using ABAB / ABCB down here, but fudge it, haha.

I tried writing one in AABB but it was too difficult and I had to scrap it... so please forgive me, as I present to you an original ABCB bredlik by @kristves:


hi dear
mein naem ist krist
follow me
und follow mein fist
upvoet for upvoet
here ist mein post
great phapography
appreciate, toast!


EDIT: Sh*t, it should've begun with "my name is..." ah well, whatever. Still proud of it!

PS! Disqualification is totally okay!

You did good!

My naem is krist
Und on my list
Yu are on top
Cuz gurl, yu rock <3
Contest wus fun
Am rly glad
Now point dat gun
away, yu mad!!!

PPS! Those confused about the "fist":

It was supposed to be a part of "if beg you must / yer face it will bust" kind of thing in the AABB bredlik but I failed and it somehow fit with the ABCB's rythm.

My name is Lord,
I'm a war Lord,
staging wars at all deserts,
picking blood at all chests,
mourning sons at all desk,
but I smile cause am stupid,
I know death is inevitable.
I know war never dies.

Yur naem is lord
And tho yu did
Start with "my naem"
Yu mast admit
