Poetry Contest
Write a poem -- they say – of only 20 lines in length,
do they want it excrementally; do they want it not to stink?
Do they wish it to be profound, my thoughts contained underground,
like a fart inside my ass? Should I expel or keep it bound?
Tell me, what exactly -- do they think – they’re looking for?
Doing it to their specification, just like a five-dollar whore.
If I do it like they please – please, please, me do-do,
will they then like me, more than they like you?
Will they then award me the grand super dudu prize,
whilst I wait in my reserved spot, for my big surprise!
Here’s your two-foot by five-foot supra-pries poetic goal
in a gin-you-whine fake silver-plated plastic poetry party bowl,
with my name, handsomely engraved upon yon base,
an eight-by-ten Glaw-si-pole-a-roid, of my smiling face!
Should my, pin write, dactyl, maybe though anapaest I will try,
What would tickle their fancy, make them heave and sigh.
Iambic, or trochee, this style, of course, I will, perforce,
An’ like, a Cap’n, upon, sevn seas, will ply, the course.
But most assuredly the most important thing to keep in mind,
Is this poem I am writing here I must keep to only twenty li

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
