Gerald Bumflange in his widely respected tome, "The Irish had it coming" has refuted previous works by Grenville Cheesehead whom had argued in his seminal work "Bogtrotters, Blights and Blarney" that the Irish were the architects of their own misfortune owing to their dependence on chips. Bumflange argued that if the English overlords has repeeled the smash laws of 1813, which as any historian knows forbade the Irish dried potato subsitute, the whole ghastly famine could have been avoided. Norman Gash in is underated but oververbed book "What have the Irish ever given us except tinkers?" stated that it was all a Fiennan plot to make generations feel sorry for the Irish for being hungry. In summary I beleieve that Bismarck did successfully use a policy of "Blood and Iron" to unite Germany.

I'see your grammar - is coming? on in leaps & bounds. You are a flatulent pederast.

Have you taken note of any of the comments on your own poem? Furthermore, your retorts are the weakest ever.

I'm dropping the pretense of poem-critiquing and starting a parallel site where (for a nominal fee) you can get a semi-witty (or at least Post-worthy) quotable "blurb" for anything you happen to have written, sight unseen. Please send a half-dinar, the title of the work you wish to have blurbed, and a fresh white melon to zodiac, c/o The Crack, Islamland. We'll be in touch.

For the last twenty four hours, I've been suffering from a bad bout of superdysentery and the aftermath of a local diet composed almost entirely of various starches wrapped around, or stuffed into, other starches. However, I'm pleased to report I still had enough gruelly unction left in me to, upon reading your comment and its preceding, presumably unedited, version, promptly evacuate it into the seat of my Thursday dishdash. Thank you, thank you so much for being you!

Thanks, random writing on the spot while ripped as fuck, waiting for my best friend's wife to get out of labor. <3 Jason

Not the rating of my work, my rating of the works of others at this particular site. On average I'd say I was in the overly 7-9 voting range. <3 is a heart, meaning heart Jason = emo kid wishing you the best. And I've been top 10 in pimple since it became a option for poem type. God is a Lady, Speaking my Mind Brilliant Idea, and few others have had their fair share of time in the top ten slot.

Yes - Powerfully boring - could be much better.

I know,I thought they were all kind of the same though - just different names and places?

Thanks anyway.

Been sewing lately? mending maybe? Busting cliches perhaps, like "a stitch in time saves nine."
