Why is Sluggy Freelance still running.

I miss what Geocities represented: the ideal Internet where normal people just made bad web pages to talk about what they were interested in.

These "roses" poems
Find new expression
As several dozen people
Toy with rhyme progression.

re: horrifying doggerel, the art form 

@Soreth
roses red
violets blue
copulas superfluous
unlike you

re: horrifying doggerel, the art form 

The first line ends in red
The second line ends in blue
But this form is like a sonnet
There's a lot of exploration you can do

re: horrifying doggerel, off the rails completely 

Roses are red,
Violets are blue
Having produced the set-up couplet
I can do whatever I want afterward
Look here's a fifth line to the poem
In this essay I will (cont'd)

re: horrifying doggerel, poetry deep cut 

Roses, they're red
Violets aren't actually blue
We're sure doing an awful lot of enjambment here when
We leave stuff uncompleted until the next line's through

re: horrifying doggerel, meta meta 

This is just to say

I have eaten
the roses
you kept in
the icebox

and which
you were definitely
mistaken
in putting there

They're roses
what's wrong with you
they don't belong in the icebox

what do you mean what's wrong with me

I ate the roses
I had to
that's how the rhyme begins
yes the thorns hurt a lot

we do foolish things for love

Humor is all in subverting expectation

1 cup roses, red
Half cup violets, blue
There's nothing like flower soup

This rose is red
And so is my beverage

Roses are red

Roses are red
My life is a sham

Roses are red
Life's quite a rat race
May you flee Capitalism
With Tim Curry in SPACE

work conversation, political joke 

Me: "Yeah, I have a document that's always open with all kinds of stuff I might need. URLs for the locator, debugging tricks, the location of the stolen diamonds..."
Z: "You know, I'd like to get in on that...."
Me: "No no, you didn't want in at the beginning, you don't get in on it now. We worked hard for those."
Z: "Listen, I value your work, but now I can just steal the products."
Me: "Capitalist."
Z: "You take that back."
