The Amazing Maureece

So, the trailer for The Amazing Maurice is out.

And my immediate reaction is "Maureece? Is it Maureece? I've never pronounced it Maureece. Stephen Briggs in the audiobook doesn't pronounce it Maureece."

And then, as so often happens, I heard the voice of Mr Laurie's old m'collegue in my head. And it said "Some dine on cream like the fattest of cats, while others hang out with a bunch of rats. Go and hang out with the rats, Morris."

Memed from thisbluespirit and john_amend_all:

1. Pick five fandoms. List them in alphabetical order.
2. Visit this site to find your first RANDOM POEM OF POWER. Write down the 5th line (yes, even if it's an E.E. Cummings poem and you wind up with an apostrophe). Repeat five times and — you guessed it — list 'em in alphabetical order! (No cheating, mind! This is a challenge and it's always been about creativity.)
3. I think you can see where this is going. Write a very quick 50-word half-drabble for each fandom (try to do it all in one sitting - make your brain explode!), using the line from the poem as a prompt. You don't have to include it in the half-drabble - it's just inspiration.
4. Bravo! Have a cookie.

The next time this comes up I think I’m not going to do it the john_amend_all way, because it’s really hard. I ended up just giving up on one of them. Anyway, my fandoms were:

Doctor Who
John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme
Legends of Tomorrow
~~Phantom 2040~~
Zootropolis

The results were:

You know, I’m starting to suspect there are only, like, fifty poems on that site or something. “I have a Bird in Spring” came up twice! Still, no Robert Service for once.
