The Reference Understanders by ~AsStipetakeswing:iconAsStipetakeswing:



Many things go unknown, many quotes unheard.
From those movies and shows that seem to, stray from the herd.
But there comes those special people, that gets it, completely.
They respond with a reference, so perfect, so discreetly.
    They're the Reference Understanders,
    They've seen it, they care.
    They're the Reference Understanders,
    Forever saving you from cold, confused, blank stares.
Many a time, odd music goes unfound.
"What in the world? what is this horribly ridiculous sound?!"
They there comes a special bunch who always keep an open ear.
They know every lyric, and will sing along with you, without fear.
     They're the Reference Understanders,
     Yes they've actually heard of that before.
     They're the Reference Understanders,
    Gladly they'll laugh with you, fall hysterically on the floor.
Many a years go by, past generation favourites are forgotten.
Those shows that were on so long ago, to some they now seem rotten.
But there's a golden few who pick through the past trash,
They still watch the re-runs, still cry to the last episode of M*A*S*H.
     They're the Reference Understanders,
     They know how much useless information they've explored.
     They're the Reference Understanders,
     Soon enough you'll see, they'll take over the world.

Author's Comments

This poem is in dedication to all those Reference Understanders out there. Dun't know who they are?
Okay, well I made it up. But basically they're the silly few that still care for older music, rare tv shows, movies..all that stuff.. People who stand out from the herd, and they're interested in stuff that is really..out of the ordinary!
Inspired by a conversation I had with :SallyFace90: and :RiverMist:, I quoted something completely outrageous..and they actually knew what the hell I was talking about!
So I wrote this poem to honour those people..the ones who don't just look at you with glazed eyes, or the ones who never listen to what you're saying cause it's too looney. This is for those who care for the extraordinary!
And uh.. yeah...I still do cry to the last episode of MASH..shut up:-)
Anyone think I should fix up the ending or anything? let me know what you honestly think please!
Enjoy!:-)

ooh first comment? Well, I think this is really silly and sweet, I love the MASH reference too!
Um..perhaps the ending can be something like

They're the Reference Understanders,
Knowing all about the useless information they've explored.
They're the Reference Understanders,
Soon enough ,they'll take over the world.

Aw, love, this made me tear up! I really adore this, because I feel like you are one of those people, too!
This made me think of a book I read called The Perks of Being a Wallflower. If you haven't read it, you should, because the main character is exactly this way. It's uncanny! I love it!

What a beautiful way to put it, Brit..
I couldn't have said it any better! And as
Katie said: you are one of those people as
well. You "get it" without even having
to question why it's liked. It just
is!
We need more extraordinary in an ordinary
world.
(And the ending of M*A*S*H* will always
make me cry... same goes for the last Muppet Show.) :hug:

Unintentionally annoying yet always toying.
Incredibly insecure yet always unsure.
Undoubtedly pained yet nothing still gained.
Intangibly me... yet who can I be? --- Me

Aw shucks, guess I made it a bit autobiographical!
Yeah, so true..
(aww..did you ever see the episode where Radar went home? they showed that one today..gosh, that's a tearjerker too! Hm.. never saw the last Muppet Show, was it really that sad?)
