Dirty Ugly

I w.r.i.t.e. DIRTY (p-r-e-t-t-y) poetry,
Like a crack-BABY E.E. (cumings),
I f-o-u-n-d I cou-uldn't {actually} write,
so I B.A.N.G. the keybored like
I didn't Qu.i.te make i.t. on the evolution t.r.a.in

No real {substance}, just p.a.g.e.s of periods,
millions of c,o,m,m,a,s;
(in)finite a-m-0-unts of eegoh,
and not won. good. point.

Author notes

Granted most dirty pretty does a better job of making fun of itself than anything I could possibly write, but I just saw somebody posting this kind of "poetry" one too many times and had to write something about it. To all the real poets out there, much love, hope this trend dies soon so e.e. cummings can rest easy in his grave,
