It's true we are all poets, Though some of us don't know it! And that is why I'm gonna try To get you all to show it! You won't get any money If you did that would be funny! So just have fun And when you're done You can show it to your honey! You can share your feelings On all kinds of dirty dealings; So take your time And make it rhyme If you can't, there's no hard feelings! You can pick from any topic, So try to find a hot-pick! Just keep it light, Don't cause a fight! Cause I would have to stop it! Write of something that excites you Or someone who delights you This is just an example, An amateurish sample; Do better, I invite you! Take your best shot at making a comment on any subject in the form of a poem! Don't be shy, nobody is going to criticize your ability, it's all in fun!

Ah, the fun And wonderful puns But poetry does not need rhyme Just the fullness of time My poetry is in the eyes To make you picture my sighs To see the sunset To see the tree To seal the bet To see inside me LOL..ok, that's just off the top of my head...

I know a poem needn't rhyme, But that's what most expect In contests most of the time That's what they would select That doesn't mean that they're right, They could well be incorrect, As we've learned on election night About the one that they elect. But rhyme or not, it's fine with me As long as someone reads them! I just hope it brings some laughs, you see, Because I surely need them!

If all goes well And doesn't go to hell in a hand-basket The USA won't need a casket. True, rhymes are fun And I do like to pun. But for me, when I write Rhymes aren't everything in the light

Don't cause a fight is good advice Hopefully people will play nice Debates are better based on facts Not emotions or personal attacks Heated discussions will ensue but remaining civil is good on you

Should Scooter's sentence have been commuted? Should the whole Bush Administration be booted? Should the voices of dissenters be completely muted? Should all of our rights be further diluted? Should the environment continue to be polluted? Should the mainstream media be more disreputed? Should the 2000 election now be disputed? Should Cheney be jailed for the guy he shooted?

It must have take you forever to write this poetic endeavour. I applaud your sense of fun and praise a job well done. And though I like to write I'm not quite up to it tonight. I am tired and in pain - that time of the month again. So I'll leave you and your friends to carry this project to the end. :)
