One of my first real obsessions on the internets (Just after bestiality video clips, if I recall) was perusing the sites of "Goths" for the sole purpose of laughing at their lousy poetry.  Oh, sure, there was always the risk that you'd happen upon the site of somebody who displayed an actual bit of talent; But, such encounters were infrequent enough not to be of any real concern.

Bad poetry, ladies and gents, was the reason I dropped out of the poetry program.  Professor Roy's got nothing on a university poetry program, i assure you.

However, I checked out a few of his links which "out" poetry.com, and I found this little gem:

   My Cat Has Fleas

My cat is chewing on her butt;
It makes me think she is a nut.

I try to drown the fleas in spray;
They jump and shout and just yell "Hey!"

I try to drown the fleas in powder;
they eat it like it's fine clam chowder.

I try to drown the fleas in gas;
that really burned my kitty's ass.





Apparently, it was held up as an example of how horrible the poetry.com scandal was, as this poem was chosen to compete for a national prize.  But honestly, I sort of like it.  Figured I'd share.

And by sort of like it, I don't mean as a fine piece of literature.  It just made me laugh.  Figured I'd clarify.  WHERE THE FUCK IS THE EDIT BUTTON???

Too fucking late. You said it. You can't unsay it. This poem is now the standard by which, heretofrom, your taste shall be ever judged.
                                                                                           

Although I am really itching to go after some hapless troll... I missed the boat on the whole Lindsay thing, and Kim is far too accepting of our scorn to really attack much anymore.  Plus, somebody said she showed her tits, although all i can find is a pic with showing her nips piecing a wife beater.  Anyone as gullible as that is worth keeping around, if nothing else for entertainment value.
