If anyone knows bad poetry...it's me....don't yall think?

Writin' poems is easy, I do it all the time,
I start off with a rhythm and then I make it ryme
I'll admit I have a problim gittin words spelt right,
My punctuations shameful and my grammer sux outright!

And mostly when I write, I have nuthin' much to say,
Which really aint unusual with some writers of today.
Thats why those nasty critics will never git me down,
I'm as good at saying nuthin as anyone around.

I guess thats all I got to say, this poem is almost through,
The verses is complete, there's just one thing left to do,
And that's to sign this crappy art like any artist would,
But after reading what I wrote I don't think that I should!

Wonderful point, Toerag.

With the modern educational system downplaying grammatical correctness, I find no fault in your spelling. Indeed, it is refreshingly Franklinian.

Listen, everybody. I've known T-O-E-R-A-G a long time, and I take offense at you mocking his spelling. That REALLY IS the way he spells words. So, back off... lol
