Crimes against poetry

When I saw this poetry blogburst, I laughed.

Real hard.

Okay, the progs get bonus points for some creativity.

For execution?


Check out the serious lines:


The women, farmers, activists, progbloggers --
And with this pome I now tag all the poggers.

I'm not good at this stuff, so don't laugh :(


Sorry, it's just too hard.

We are the "deciders" that have power,
who stand righteously upon our tower.
You have no choice but to sit and cower
beneath our ever flowing Golden Shower.


Golden Shower? Did I read that right? Isn't that a gay reference for a sexual act involving piss?

It's corny AND tasteless too!

One of the commenters on Pogge wrote these lines:

God Bless Canada, So Free
What is given and taken now Just be
No more worry about unjust law for we
Our Con government stands for me and thee


OMG, not only is it doggerel, it's BAD DOGGEREL, replete with bad grammar and archaic language.

Oh, mustn't forget the "takes" on songs:

stevie played the czar
damning folks that don't have weenies


LOL. "Don't have weenies".

I'm glad they don't have the CCP now, because they should be prosecuted for crimes against poetry.

I look forward to more laughter.
