Another Bad Poem by Another Lazy Poet

The steep recedes intone the mode
of pestilence and back again.
The data jam infects the node
of Alistaire O'Finnegan.
And other such quite senseless stuff
which paper sucks so quick from pen
will make me find a rhyme for "stuff"
and also use "again" again.

05/26/2004 TheBuyer: I like it. Kind of like Drano in the bread basket.
07/20/2004 John Slocum: excellent, still.
07/20/2004 qualcomm (3): i don't like this one so much, except for the last line. slover: stop liking this so much.
07/20/2004 Ewan Snow: The last line's the only point. asshole.
07/20/2004 Ewan Snow: Dude, look at the scandalous rating on this one! And his name is "slocum". asshole.
07/20/2004 qualcomm: but despite your justifying the idiotic first few lines with "And other such quite senseless stuff," i can't help but be annoyed by "The steep recedes intone the mode"
07/20/2004 Ewan Snow: Mulp.
07/20/2004 Ewan Snow: You laughed out loud when you read it way back when. So no fair for the three. And in any case, the sub-three rating this has is a scandal. A scandal!
07/20/2004 qualcomm: maybe i did, but as you know, that was before 9/11
