I didn’t know what to write today,
So I wrote this,
And tried to make it look like a poem
But it obviously isn’t a poem.

Although it may qualify as a poem,
In the eyes of some
It definitely isn’t a poem,
And the word poem is overused

In my defence, I’m not that bad,
In general,
At writing things like poems,
But this is not evidence of that.

  3. Avente garde satire at its finest. Get some wire rimmed half-glasses to go with that jumper, sir.

    …What? I can be American and know what a jumper is, dammit.
