let's pretend that we can write! (Free verse) by val
"LET'S PRETEND THAT WE CAN WRITE" Let's pretend that we can write And put up our own website Let's pretend we're in the pink Even though our writing stinks Let's tell folks it's poetry time Even though nothing rhymes If there was a law We'd be doing time Because our writing is a crime Put up a picture of the cat Even though he's old and fat Maybe rhyme life would be sweeter If we had a dog guide leader Hey dog, Where's the exit door I can't take it anymore If the netizens start to get bored Let's say we won awards Here's one from Daffy Duck The fine print reads our site sucks Recommendations from "Poetry Capers" To turn our site into toilet paper Hey golly, me-oh-my-oh Why not put up our bio's Say we have Ph.d's And run the National Library of Poetry Even though our site's not witty We could have a bunch of midis Guests could play them and Drink beer and Pretend they like it here! Even though we can't spell We need our very own URL Let's pretend that we can write And put up our own website by Val Magnuson c2000 all rights reserved Val Magnuson

<~>, This was just a poem. It wasn't about Poemranker. I know Val (guess that puts her on a even bigger shit list) and this is just a poem she wrote one day (see c2000).

Are we feeling guilty?

Come on z, 'the most advanced forum for literary camaraderie in the civilized world?' ROFL!

margaret--that was a joke. of course i see the humor of it. can you not see the sarcasm in my comments? come on, margaret!!! lighten up!! did you really think i was being serious when i stated that poemranker was, 'the most advanced forum for literary camaraderie in the civilized world?' --well, i see that you laughed, so maybe you did have some inkling that i was completely over the top, here.

laugh a little margaret!! it's a fun place! just don't take the assholes so seriously!

valid points, some witty parts - seems a bit bulletproof, though. "My poetic commentary on bad poetry was intentionally not that great"
