Best Eurovision Poems

From fjords, forests, hot springs,
slopes and snowy mountains,
people from different 'walks of life,'
connect their cultures to entertain.
A vision of Europe and humanity,
where a continent is home to many dialects,
serenading in diverse artistic styles.
Blending voices that carry something distinct,
bellowed from a ballad, rock or
something completely comedic.

>That  Eurovision song contest.

Me telly was on the blink.
Into an early sleep. 
I drugged did sink.
Medical ones I mean.
Not what all of you, just did think.

But looking at the points.
GB did not get.
I think our song. 
Did once more sink

I have worked out the...

> My parents gave me advice. Of the dead only speak nice. Now if I heard right someone is being critical of Sir Terry Wogan, and that is not right. So as The Mad Author I have been called to write in his defence, and...

In the lovely Dublin theater
where dreams are fulfilled
excited spectators hushed
In the silence of the night
with avid expectancy,
Bucks Fizz entered the stage
his music is a hidden gem 
waiting to be performed
In a lovely breeze
a mellow silk thread was spun
akin to the moon's silky glow
I have hopeful dreams.

In...

I saw a stupid movie just four years ago.
Will Ferrell starred in it, and he’s a funny guy..
The plot was so insipid I barely liked the show.
In Iceland it takes place, where Lars and Sigrit vie
with Eurovision singers in a contest with their song.
The movie...

2024 was the first time in over two decades.
First time that I didn’t watch any of Eurovision.
The pop and the rock, the costumes and things.
Watching people dress differently and sings.

With my conscious, I couldn’t watch it.
Including a country like the state of Israel.
The Israeli government...

It was nineteen seventy six 
When a great band sang about saving a kiss 
Such a jolly song
That anyone could sing along 
I learned the words off by heart 
And entered a singing contest 
While on holiday
Save all your kisses for me
Save all your kisses...

If only the French could speak German,
and Germans could greet the English,
If only the English could speak Spanish,
and the Spanish admire Italian Margherita!
only if Russians could try be like Swedes,
neutral in war and peaceful with all,
only if the beautiful ladies of Finland,
could teach presidential men...

EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

Every year, it is getting ever more weird
Unlikely now that actual songs are judged
Risky costumes and acts are getting stranger
Overtly gender-neutral in displays of pride
Voting is always political, and predictable
It all started off being just about the music
Songs themselves now seem not to...

When Abba wowed the audience:
the only part I've ever seen!
Oh, and the bearded lady who
(I think) was a drag queen.

Nil Poi!
Nil poi, shove it under there.
Nil Poi, coz we don’t really care.
Nil poi, we are quite elated.
Nil poi, we are vaccinated.
Nil poi, it’s fixed, and it’s done.
Nil poi, but we’re still number one.
Nil poi, you all used our tongue.
Nil poi, with bad diction, bad...

n Dublin’s grand theatre, where dreams alight,
A hush fell over the expectant crowd that night.
Bucks Fizz stepped forth, hearts aflutter,
Their song, a secret spell, ready to utter.

The melody wove through the air like silk,
A tapestry of hope spun from the moon’s milk.
“Making Your Mind Up,”...
