Demanding, Eh?

So you demand a freshie then?
And you despise the merits of rhyme?
What the hell, I aim to annoy.
And it seems I have the time...

Proper contest etiquette,
Demands a comment for all.
Even if it's bland and generic,
Even if it's small.

Your theme though, intriguing.
Who doesn't adore the self?
I could blabber on for days.
Grab the anecdotes off the shelf.

I'm pretentious and dumb,
Holy shit! I have a blister on my thumb!

I search for UFO's humping at the sky,
And I never figured out how to tie...a tie

I "drink" chocolate milk slowly with a spoon,
My favorite Washington quote involves a "poltroon"

And, what is that, oh hey?
Did you just mention the want of cliche?

I try, but that is all too relative,
Roses for one, blood for another,
My cliches are trying too hard to be aloof,
My words are vocab lists; oh, why do I bother?

In the end, it's for folks like you,
You make up these tedious demands
(both trivial and essential)
In the end, remember-I followed most of your commands.



Love, Hippie

      Hehe...I know.
      He underlined his hatred of rhyme...

      He was asking for it, don't you think?

        Yes. Definately. Who hates rhyme as an entire entity? That is just close minded.
