I hope you've all enjoyed my horrifying doggerel today. It's probably over for the evening, but I can't be sure there won't be a relapse.

Roses are red
Blue is the sea.
Iä! Cthulhu fhtagn!
The Deep Ones are coming for me.

Rosencrantz is dead,
And so is Guildenstern,
The lessons of good poetry
I have failed to learn.

This is just to say 

I have eaten
the roses
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for Valentine's

Forgive me
they were delicious
so red
and so cold

Why the hell were you keeping them in the icebox anyway? Use a vase.

Roses are red,
Nasturtiums are zygomorphic.
Fuck I painted myself into a corner on this one;
I like things that are anthropomorphic...?

That's "steamed hams but it's roses are red" for those of you keeping score on just how far I can fall.

I am not classy 

Red roses?
At this time of year, at this time of day,
In this part of the country
LOCALIZED ENTIRELY WITHIN YOUR KITCHEN?
May I see them?

For sale: 

One bouquet roses, violets.
Never worn.

This exhibit is showing
works in the style "Art Deco".
I can lick my own eyeball,
Can I be your gecko?

Roses are red,
Violets, they're blue.
I am under an NDA
and cannot reveal the rest of this poem to you.

Periodic reminder that in "Jurassic Park", when Lex says "It's a UNIX system!", she's right; what's on the screen is fsn, a graphical file browser for SGI IRIX-based computers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fsn_(fil

I have actually forgotten the original form of 'roses are red, violets are blue'. Huh.

old favorite, poor taste, blood, spoof 

Roses are red,
And so is my beverage.
I think I'm having
an occular hemorrhage.

So that only took about 14 hours to start to get out of.

Today has been a super high-anxiety day for no good reason and I would really like it to stop

The weekend should be three days long, dammit.

Nothing quite like having people compliment a story you wrote like 15 years ago to remind you that both (a) the things you do can inspire and brighten the lives of others, and (b) It doesn't matter how badly-written you think your old stuff is.

Answered the door for the pizza guy in skirt and full-on girl mode. Did not freak out.

Progress!
