A poem. By me. For you. Yup:
There's no money after twelve
and there's no countenancing things either
like why is it that after you become engaged
you're suddenly the expert on relationships
marriage
dating
all that jazz?
and another thing
why is it
that no one appreciates the good oldies
though they say they do
and they'd rather read
the new and ugly?
because really
there's much better shtuff out there
but no
they want new
innovative
garbage
even though
as I say
they say
they'd rather stick with the classics
but it's not true
who knows?
beats me claude

nice poem! though i dont remember ever giving you that title :)
you are not.
if new is as good as old, it wouldnt be ugly.
TRS, you're reading this at the poetry slam tomorrow night? You better, or else...
J: which title?
Altie: I am not what?
e: or else what, white boy?
Listen honky, you aint no master of relationships.
True that may be, but it doesn't stop the whole smicha from considering me as such.
those poor smicha boys...
i agree with e. this and the italian one too, please!
are the smicha boys still in motown?
re: "or else what"
or else you'll miss the chance to hang out with the coolest people in crown heights and share your poetry with them.
e. awww. the coolest people? really?
Cheerio: et tu brute?
e: some of them are.
e2: there's got to be an aphorism here-"a proper comment in the proper place is like..."
Cheerio: will there be AC this time?
as in... air conditioning? yeah...
What else could I have possibly meant?
just - was there not AC last time?
Yeah, there wasn't?
I don't remember-was there?
Ok i see what you mean now. Yes you totally have to go to the slam now. Its actually a law that if yot write a cool poem you have to read it in front of the coolest people there are i.e. Poetry slam.
Maybe. Maybe.
agree with sebastian, on both counts
I like that last line best.

oh ya chinese dude. i TOTALLY get what u are trying to say.
This is Google's translation from Japanese to English:
We have recently run away from home like a bulletin board is covered in the media, and wrote many messages are runaway girl walking across the country stay a local Internet cafe. They are going to play as soon as the men he met at the board I have no money. Why even write you back an answer

Help+Spam=Lose your pants.
And btw, thanks e.
so my gmail ads are all in japanese.
Sheesh! These japs won't leave us alone!
Japs sounds like teenage girls.
Do you know what they are saying? Maybe it's a call for help.

It's spam. Probably once the first one left a comment, the japanese spam computers started to think that people here know japanese.
