So the assignment this week is this:20 word poem. Must include the word "sombrero."
I confess that I was the one who picked this weeks topic (it's not a topic, is it?) so if it sucks, you can post your snarky comments below. Of course, I will delete them and put you on my ever-growing list of people I hate, but still--it's a free country. I must add the disclaimer that I was highly medicated (a frightening combination of both Dayquil AND Nyquil which had me all but seeing pink elephants!) when I chose this. I envisioned some sort of a crappy poem that one would write in a highschool Creative Writing class (sorry, Mrs. Johnson!) where black-clad teenagers full of themselves and angst find an outlet for their inner battles. I am really wordy. It's because it's 12:46AM and I just spent the last 4 hours with Jami and Jenni but can't go to sleep because I drank 2 Cokes. I'd have had more but our waitress had to go home and the rest of the waitstaff hated us because we'd been there so long so they stopped coming by our table. Unlimited refills my...anyway, without further ado (or psychosis) here is my really crappy on purpose 20 word poem that includes the word "sombrero." I wanted to do it tonight before going to bed so it'd be good and random in my sleep-deprived though hopped up state. Prepare yourselves for greatness. Ahem.
days long ago
ages now

Ta da! FYI--when I was an angsty teen myself and wrote dark poetry, I never capitalized. It was my "thing" and I felt it should continue on. As the title says, "Highschool never ends!"
GO KAVEMEN!

I'm laughing, I'm crying, I'm reliving moments from last night. What can I say? It is pure genius. Your angst is revealed.
Harriet. Har-E-et.
Feeling the pain, my dear. Feeling the pain.
Wow, so much more to that than I my feable mind can pick up on!
And you guys got together WITHOUT me! I'm hurt!
Don't be hurt. We already feel monumentally guilty.
You see...as Jenni was about to plunge off a cliff...it became necessary to call in reinforcements for an emergency trip to Village Inn.
We thought about calling you and making you drive an hour....damn. We should have actually done it...
A tall cliff....not to be confused with a short curb.
Oh, I crack myself up.
As long as you felt guilty, that's all that matters. The fact that you felt "monumentally" guilty makes me feel even better! Glad to know you would've liked me there anyway.
And I really think you should stay away from tall cliffs and short curbs for the next three months. OR...we'll just have to get you out of the house once a week until your tendancies subside.
kiss it, Cragun!
Hey, if I'd known you were only threatening to jump off a short cliff, I never would have agreed to go. I mean, you made it sound pretty desperate.
