Wanted: Poetasters

Posted on July 17, 2003 in Whimsies

Dave Barry started this. Andrea shamelessly agitated for it and so did someone else.

The idea is to flood poetry.com with doggerel in the name of Freemont A. Harkins. Somewhere in your micrum opus, include the line “the dog ate mother’s toes”.

My personal work of poetastry went like this:

Oh my mother love

how sweet my dear to my eye

laying out in the coffin woeful

the dog ate mother’s toes full

As of this writing, it seems that poetry.com might have gotten wise, so you are welcome to post your work as a comment here. Dave Barry’s too cheap.
