Feelings Not Included

I do not mean to hurt your feelings That is, if you have any, to hurt. If so I apologize now for any future offenses As I will be throwing darts at your picture As I compose this ne’er to be posted “text” In the event it is used in a future indictment. It seems that “words” have become the currency Of a bankrupt language seeking a following Thus, all “words”, grunts, moans, or gurgling Are to be considered “protected” “speech”. Depending on how that speech is interpreted By the “ear bud” deafened masses. Ditch the dictionary and thesaurus and Purchase a new edition “imaginasaurus” Wherein every word is defined by what we imagine its meaning to be and “multiple connected strings of words” “once classified as sentences” Will be subject to scrutiny and dissection By an AI (Arguing Idiots) group. If and when I meet all the parameters Of the Asinine Algorithms of America And filter it through the Fatalistically Philosophical Philanderers Assn I will slip a note under your door Pay no attention to it Meet me under the old Elm on Tree Street Or the old tree on Elm street. //this message will destruct in 3,835 galishtins//

Wow, what a write! The title and each stanza are packed with creative greatness, if you ask me. Imaginasaurus- so cool.

So glad I was in time before the message destructed. I've got my 'AI-Splainer' out, so I can know what all the possibilities in the entire cosmos are... ~ Flakey Foont
