A friend shared with me recently a poem consisting of mashed up Taylor Swift lyrics, written by his 11 year old daughter. I didn't have the heart to tell him that what his daughter wrote was not really poetry, but more like plagiarism. This gave me the idea for this thread. Lets share funny and terrible poems with each other, and hopefully have a giggle or two. TOAST this is your mind. this is your mind on TOAST. this is your TOAST. This is your toast on my mind. © 1995 by Joseph V. Viray. All Rights Reserved.
I remember the first poem I did in English classes was a very short old poem. The teachers didn't believe me at the time until I proved it was an actual poem. It was called "Ode to a goldfish" Oh. Wet. Pet. And that was that. :d I didn't get creativity points.
I wrote a song for a garage band in California called The Plastered Bastards. They opened a few times for the Mentors, or so it was rumored. I was already burning out on punk and such, but was at a party with the band and some friends and I suggested an idea for a song off the top of my head. I was inspired by a trip to Florida the previous year when I stayed with an uncle and his wife and kids, in a trailer on the intercoastal waterway. I spent the summer fishing and hanging out with the reddest of rednecks that I have ever encountered. Try to picture it in the little diddy I call "Knob Slobber"....... She's workin at the Ho-Jo Honkin on the Big Bro Bobbin like a Yo-yo a 20 dollar blow hoe She's a knob slobber, a goo gobbler A trailer park whore, ain't nothin gonna stop her An inbred boffer Her own Daddy popped her That's all I can remember, it went on and on with foul ethnic stereotypes, racism, sexism and other isms. I write about more practical stuff these days.
