I made a word: pop-tarded.
It's my nice way of saying retarded.
I really liked this poem. I liked it so much, I printed it out and used it in place of my toilet paper.

In its form, the ghazal is a short poem rarely of more than a dozen couplets in the same metre. It always opens with a rhyming couplet called matla. The rhyme of the opening couplet is repeated at the end of second line in each succeeding verse, so that the rhyming pattern may be represented as AA, BA, CA, DA, and so on. In addition to the restriction of rhyme, the ghazal also observes the convention of radif. Radif demands that a portion of the first line -- comprising not more than two or three words -- immediately preceding the rhyme-word at the end, should rhyme with its counterpart in the second line of the opening couplet, and afterwards alternately throughout the poem. The opening couplet of the ghazal is always a representative couplet: it sets the mood and tone of the poem and prepares us for its proper appreciation. The last couplet of the ghazal called makta often includes the pen-name of the poet, and is more personal than general in its tone and intent. Here the poet may express his own state of mind, or describe his religious faith, or pray for his beloved, or indulge in poetic self-praise. The different couplets of the ghazal are not bound by the unity and consistency of thought. Each couplet is a self-sufficient unit, detachable and quotable, generally containing the complete expression of an idea.

At first I thought this was one of those: "What am I?" poems... and I hate those.

Here is the definition of a haiku taken from this very site:
The haiku is a japanese poetry form, evolved from the renga during the 16th century. It is a three line, unrhymed set of seventeen syllables (5-7-5).
It is typically a pair of contrasting concrete/sensory images, with each image so dependant on the other that the whole thing collapses if one word is altered.

I thought this was going to end in "What am I?"
To which I was going to reply: A lizard in the desert
But that didn't happen

I thought it was a pimple poem without the rhyme. I have seen this topic over and over again, written in angst by teenage girls. Frankly I'm sick of this topic. But... opinions are like farts...

Very Langston Hughes-ish with the repeating of the first line.
Extremely lewd.
Even for you...
