In praise of racism (Other) by INTRANSIT
Racism, is a white car traveling in a thick fog with no lights on. Megalosensitive bobble head jesus dolls echo race history's flex No one shows their secret dimples until the lightbulb is screwed in Szechuan food is never too spicy and someone has philly cheesesteak on their face While porch monkeys are porch monkeys and penguins still walk on stilts. When has six steamings ever cleaned a carpet. If the earlobe is too low then put bigfoot forward Or walk around well heeled and lean Let the ketchup bottles spit their reticulated lip shtick The cowboys association of New Jersey is guilty by association A comedian is a fisherman with a doctorate in botanical idiosyncrasies. Hosta! Hosta! Hosta! Trip over native tongues remembering jokes the headdresses told. Go ahead. Crack someones genealogy and turn the human tragedy lemon wise.

Up the ladder: Waking at night
Down the ladder: ummm

Brilliant and witty.
Yes we have been playing a fools game haven't we.

You flip-flopped the "is" in "history".

I suppose there’s no spell checkers in truck stops, so I’ll forgive “traveling” “hsitory's” “idiosyncracies” “schtick” and “Sechuan.” The funky spacing is a little harder.

It is such a shame we are not all as perfect as "Dovina". Maybe, it is all the world traveling that she does? Maybe, she just has a history of being perfect? Maybe, she has NO idiosyncrasies? Maybe her "shtick" is up her...! My advice: Order Szechwan...and a life!

You just need to understand that Dovina's votes are like dog years. If she gives you a 7 it's like a 9 in human votes.

Your gettin' good with those one-liners D.

In a place where good means bad, and bad good, my one-liners are good.

They must be aces when they pop into your head then.

No, really it's just not understanding what people mean most of the time and trying to sort it out.

That pretty much sums up life don't it.

Yes, but for the glympse, the occasional light, the bang for the buck spent. Don't take anything on poemranker too literally.

If only this site had an irony detector.

Wow! I think Kansas just lost it's virginity.

No there isn't. And there's no cut and paste, either. Otherwise you'd be wearing a canard on your face. No, the case was an extra sticky enter key and I was battling the timer at the same time. Ran out before I could proofread. you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a decent kiosk out here. I see a vaio with mo-tech in my future. Hopefully by mid year. And when I get it, I'm gonna " Jerk that smokewagon" and "burn you down". thanks for the (proof)read D.

Yeah, that's pretty good. It missed "traveling" though, and showed me "schtick" can have a "ck" or just a "k".

I thought the way it layed out the whole text for you was great.
I saved it in my favorites for that reason alone.

Me too.

I like this one.

Ummm--huh. I don't know--it reads to me like a series of punchlines unanchored by a joke. Interesting because it's so fucking weird, but I don't get a sense of the sense.

That's partly the idea but there are parts that read funky.

Well, there went a perfectly good 6.0

Different in style from you and the wit mixes well with the wisdom. I think the link from poin tot point needs a tidy though (example: their secret dimples until
the lightbulb is
screwed in
Szechuan

Some novel lines / expression use in this.

Demon opener! Didn't get the last clause, but I'm a bit slow at the moment. The rest is a grand take on human failings.
