I once made one up for my younger sister. It was:

Ever grinning
Losing, winning
Laughing, crying
Even sighing
Never thinking
LIFE IS STINKING!

I'm so sweet.

You know, I thought there were more creative people here at Hatrack. I'm kind of surprised more people haven't stepped up with poems of their own. Guess ya'll just aren't cool like Hester and me. [Smile]

Such is my immature sense of humor. And I really can't stop. I would rather be grading papers, but these stupid poems keep pooping up.

I went to high school with a girl who was quite a gifted poet. She wrote a poem in class once that was very good, so she submitted it for inclusion into the school newspaper. It was politically charged, but no one saw anything really offensive about it. It wasn't until after it was printed and distributed that someone noticed that it was an acrostic. I can't remember the full text of the poem, but the first letters were:

F
*
*
K

Y
O
U

I think she got suspended.

This one i write for a very close friend.

À une Demoiselle de Galice

C’est avant tout ton brillant regard pétillant,
Hôtesse de mes sourires revivant rougissant,
Riant des pitreries que tu m’offres avec joie,
Irradiant de ton chant, de ton son, de ta voix
Scintillante, réchauffant mon ouïe, mes prunelles.
Ta douceur a filtré mes langoureuses douleurs,
Evacuant toutes ces mélancoliques humeurs.
Libératrice de cette prison, je te fais
Le serment de te rendre un jour tout ce bienfait,
Et tu garderas en mon cœur une place éternelle,

Ma Christelle.

Two acrostic limerics:

Breaching the natural borders
Outlandish ideas and orders
Outlaws so bold and
Kings' magic gold
Send chills up the spines of book hoarders

Caught in the lure of the site
Replying and posting all night
As eyes fall out
Still I will shout
How all my opinions are right!

Torpid waves of paper stacking
Over-arching deadlines crashing
Only once per lifetime can you die.

Murd'rous e-mail from your bosses
Urgent pleas from forlorn spouses
"Call for you, it's
Hatrack on wi-fi."

Watching who is having trouble
Op'ning threads that burst a bubble
Right now you should just
Klick the big red "x".
