Great Cthulhu Posted February 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 Thank you for your compliments! This is in the style of Vogon poetry, an alien race from Douglas Adams' "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" (well known about the galaxy as being the second worse poetry ever created...)

Qryos Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 ~ Hate to tell ya this Hon... That's really poorly done then!... Thank you for making me laugh! A Vogon would never have used 'wafting'... That's not a Vogonish poetry word, now is it? & over-all the entire effort is much too short. & you had rhythm!!!{I know, when ya got it, just can't lose it, huh? }You just lost the first assimilation round of the Vogon poetathlon. If you are to apply to enter the poetathlon next year, you must file the proper forms and be sure of the appropriate length of your submission. Complete all forms in triplicate and do not neglect proper approval signatory. All forms must be filed in the assigned reporting department exactly 365 days prior to the date of the event. Failure to do so will automatically cause a default of the presumed entrance fee. If such fee is not provided 367 days before the poetathlon begins you shall be fined that amount plus 3x for filing and processing fees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know.-Was it worth it?-If I could go back,I'd make you minea thousand times overand over again.-Hmmm. Yeah, me too.A smile settles infor the long stay on my lipspulling up on the left(to make itself more comfortable)I wink the winkshe knows so welland lift my glass on high.-Here's to eleven!© LeRoy James McKitrick, All rights reserved Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
