| Psychopath Registered: Feb. 01  | That Morrison thing was great. Gotta love Modern Humorist, one of the funniest sites out there. I INSIST that everyone read through my favorite series of things on there,... the Holy Tango of Poetry. My personal favorite is the following, but they are all great. (FYI, the idea is "what if poets had written poems whose titles were anagrams of their names") Is a Sperm Like a Whale? by William Shakespeare Shall I compare thee to a sperm whale, sperm? Thou art more tiny and more resolute: Rough tides may sway a sea-bound endotherm, But naught diverts thy uterine commute. Sometime too fierce the eye of squid may glint And make a stout cetacean hunter quail; Methinks 'twould take much more than bilious squint To shake thee off the cunning ovum's trail. Yet still thou art not so unlike, thou two, Both coursing through a dark uncharted brine While fore and aft there swims thy fellow crew; And note this echo, little gamete mine: As whales spray salty water from their spout, So with a salty spray dost thou come out. The funniest title is probably "I Will Alarm Islamic Owls" by William Carlos Williams. LIMITED EDITION PEOPLE! BE CLICKING!
