A Neanderthal Fink by Tota LongmireCould the missing link
Get a prize from poetry.com
After having a strong mixed drink?
Sure! If it was something bad
And perhaps if it was about a sink.
A Neanderthal would buy a plaque
And poetry.com would say 'ka-chink!'
Money spent on stupid stuff means lots of coins
That stack up with a plink, plink, plink.
Poetry.com tries to make him buy more stuff
So they can make their pocket books clink.
Of course the Neanderthal buys his prizes
But he turns out to be a fink.
Poetry.com was embezzling funds
And the lawsuits push them to the brink
Of a really bad bankruptcy
The Neanderthal drops them a wink
And opens his own website
He calls it Poetry Inc.
Now he is rich thanks to poetry.com! 10/19/2006 Author's Note: Yes, I wrote this poem just to make fun of poetry.com.

Good one. A big ouch. Sounds like your not to happy about the other two sites. I didn't know. I never go there. I think I read somewhere about the first one, it was where someone else used it. Something like that. |
