Oh Jesus, I really hate poetry
I don't want to figure out 
what you are trying to say
I don't have time for that shit
Just say it
I have mere seconds between interruptions
Mom!!  Can I have some grapes?
It's in the fridge!
What?
IT'S IN THE FRIDGE!! 
GO GET IT YOURSELF!
OK. What are you doing?
I'm writing poetry
What's that?
Oh Jeez.  It's kind of like Dr. Seuss
It can rhyme or not
You know, like Green Eggs and Ham
Sam I am
Let me try.
I like to poop
after I eat a scoop
of ice cream.
Oh Jesus, I really love poetry.
