Fwd: planetaria

welcome to RE:verse, a poem a dada! please click here to learn more about how this blog works.

the ForeWordable from yesterday's spam goes to:
Forgive, insubordinate grandchild empress,
the unfounded public deduction;
O publisher of macaroni showpiece,
O catalyst of watercolor craft.

School is a psychological Underworld,
a humbling traveler's tricycle cruise.

Cordon the unchecked outrage,
martial empress,
and insert vivacity in the statement of art.

I'll be happy to replace "cordon" with "control" if it please the court. My artistic sensibilities are easily bought.

no. why would we ever replace cordoning with controlling? the court seems consistently pleased so stop cowtowing to authority.

does anyone want to have an alliteration-off?

I missed the rabbi-elf connection too, but I'm willing to cut todd slack. Up with limericks!

On another note, has anyone else noted the lack of pronouns in the spam? Is this an accident, or a feature of anti-anti-spam technology, or what? Any thoughts?

(and were we to unwisely wage alliterative war, wendy, I would without question win.)

I dunno, rabbi, elf, empress... it seemed like a fairy tale. I guess fairy tales dont usually have rabbis, but I sort of imagined him as an evil wizard or something (not that I imagine *all* rabbis that way, mind you. But this particular rabbi was no good). Anyway, imagine empress=snow white, rabbi=the evil witch (but with some added lechery), and it'll be clear who the elves are.

Either way, euqubud's eloquent evocations easily elevated o'er elvery.

while women-nots were woefully wondering when to win with whimsy and worrying where were the she, he and wes; wendy was with wisdom and weight, wistfully (why, what, and wanting which who?), weaving words.

hmmm? you were saying?
