A-Crow-Stic

Double, please. It's
Right there, bottom shelf. Yeah,
I know it has dust on it.
Now, please, pour me and glass, and I'll thank you to
Keep 'em comin'.

Only difference between my Crow and the
Leading brands is the twenty
Dollar markup you'll get for a handle of Beam.

Could've spent my money on a fifth of
Rail gin
Or wasted fifteen bucks on Buddy
Weiser again,

But I'm sure glad to know my buddy,
Old Crow,
Unassuming in name,
Receiving little acclaim,
Bottled smooth, strong and pure.
Once heavily drunk by Gen. Grant,
Now sadly obscure.

One of the things I'll never understand is why the writers on PIC - although they are creative and skillful with the language - are unable to produce just one single poem that actually has rhymes in it.

Come on, these are just ordinary sentences with extra line breaks and uppercase letters.

An acrostic (from the late Greek akróstichon, from ákros, "top", and stíchos, "verse") is a poem or other writing in an alphabetic script, in which the first letter, syllable or word of each line, paragraph or other recurring feature in the text spells out another message. A form of constrained writing, an acrostic can be used as a mnemonic device to aide memory retrieval.

Wikipedia is the shit.

In case that confused you just read the first letters of each line.

Er... yeah man...

coming from a strictly poetic perspective....it's lacking.

But from a humor perspective, it's pretty good.

poc, you clearly don't read enough of my freestyles/songs. If they're not poetry, well, I don't know what is.

Yeah, Nick, you'll probably never see any of my poetry that I consider poetry up on the blog. I try to keep it strictly humor, unless it's so mind-fuckingly good that I feel the need to share.

Anony, thanks, and please post a name next time so I can build a lasting relationship with those who pwn on my behalf.

Happy? Damn you and Nate for the "put your name out there" crap.

As for the relationship thing. I expect presents. Lots and lots of presents. I ain't no ho.

OK, I admit I got pwned... I'm not a native speaker, nor am I well-educated, so I'm sorry for misunderstanding the concept.

But at least my comment was polite.

And by the way, "pöcs" means "prick" in Hungarian, so you shouldn't have expected an intelligent comment from me in the first place...
