"this person who feels alone , mind you he's a bum is watching the world pass him by" isn't a point. It's not even a real sentence. A point is something like "Now go live fully and carefreely" or "The man you've always thought was your uncle, isn't."

PS-I'm a butchier feminist than all of you together. You can try some 'look at the guys ganging up on my poem' shit till you're blue and puffing, but then I'll probably just pull out my engorged member and bludgeon you comatose with it.

If either of you have ever played baseball, sat in a dugout during a baseball game, watched a baseball game on TV, or by any other means other than fiction seen a baseball player adjust himself, then I am currently eating my best hat.

PS-I was expecting to read a poem about being rendered genderless, which I've always imagined being able to do on some impermanent basis. Unless by "eat the ham" you mean something below my capacity for contemplation, this is not even close.

I'm displeased to find you're back to your old self-righteousness. You were better when you didn't have all the answers. Kind of lovable, even, like a hamster.

Can you write a rhyme without it being a total nonsequitor? I bet not. The best part was the ham bit.

I know what a banshee is. The confusion was "haunting in the omen of" one. Presumably, you mean in the banshee's song, which is an omen of death, rather than an omen predicting a banshee itself, which would be bizarre, redundant, and require a whole substructure of meta-banshees to appear before the banshees proper.
By "haunts", I imagine you mean simply "exists in a kind of scary way" which is how you used it in your comment above, so you can use "in" after (ie, "haunts in the wind") rather than the more common and understandable "haunts the wind" or "haunts the omens of banshees").
Anyway I essentially got to the person "you" haunting in the haunting song of a haunt before I got totally flummoxed. It could have been so much easier.

I know nothing about astrology, except that after thirtysomething years of life your Venus still seems to be stuck somewhere shamefully near to the house of Virgo.

If you delete my comments you are an engorged pussy.
PS-it's not astrological, fuckwad, it's television.
PPS-This comment is meant only for you. Delete it if you want, but you'll still have gotten to read about what an engorged pussy you are. Twice now.
PPPS-Of course you have the right to delete comments. Is that your idea of a fucking revelation? You also have the right to wear only a bandanna around your schlong, but if you do I'm going to use my right to laugh at you and you'll be really sad and wish it was your right to whemy yourself to death from the embarassment of it, which of course it isn't not even in California. Having lived abroad long enough to know several people who only have bandannas to wrap around their schlongs even in the thick of desert winter, I've come to realise one of the biggest problems with America is people saying "I've realised it's my right to do X" and then doing it no matter how poorly it reflects on their other, non-right-discerning powers of judgment.
And your an engorged pussy. As always,

1) Don't capitalise "Oak".
2) Don't put a period after it either.
3) Then don't capitalise "Laid".
4) Correctly punctuate "Nature's".
5) On second thought, don't say that at all; and don't rhyme "tomb" and "womb".
6) That reminds me: Don't rhyme "fire" and "pyre".
7) Punctuate after Frost.
8) Don't punctuate after pressed.
9) What's up with all the periods in that stanza anyway? And couldn't you have made at least one of those a full clause?
10) "You haunt me in the omen of banshees" doesn't make any sense. You'll try to explain it now. Don't. It still doesn't.
That's your limit. Do you want more?

The Negro's Plight: The Whemying
Lying here nude in a puddle of cack,
Besmear'd on my hindparts, and phlegmy,
Hidden from sight (for I'm terribly black),
I'm a Negro and I................. whemy.
My behavior, I tell you, is nothing so sinful:
Children do it - and even Steve Buscemi
Is known to go in for an occassional chin-full
Of the feeling we call......... "the whemy".
Driven from within, while its virtues I extol
And you heathens and non-PhDs condemn me -
Oh God! It's happening! Quick! Grab the bowl!
It's.................................... ... THE WHEMY!!!!
