When They Pushed

When They Pushed Poem was pathetic and ended up rotten When received wished you hadn't gotten Grammar was mixed up in a big mess How horrible things were have to confess. Should have seen usage of each italic Looked like symbol similar to a phallic Being awkwardly stuck up in the air And do it again, you wouldn't dare. We finally came to the realization Never knew nothing about punctuation Thought to capitalize was a capital crime So she avoided using it all of the time. She even thought sentence diagraming Were atomic charts and used in spamming Entire English Department we did chastise When recommending poem for Pulitzer Prize.

Sometimes fame kiss your feet when path selected is different from the norms. A well expressed piece.
