The internet hates me
It locks me out
Don’t write! I’m not going to let you
Parade about the internet
Saying: You’re great!
I’m in a sulk
As a result

It doesn’t have to be poems
Just write short lines
Everyone will think it’s poetry
Bad poetry, but poetry, nevertheless
Word gives me capitals
But neglects the metre

I bet I can’t post this
I’ll click on the link
The internet
Will explode
In a whirling blue circle
I’m in A STONKING GREAT SULK
Most of the time now

(Quick! It let me! Ani, I love you, Jereme I like yours too, xtc I think you're great, Mr. Witness, yours in awe, as usual)

Wow. This is so amazing. I love the way you channeled the existential loneliness of today's technologically advanced lifestyle, while at the same time highlighting the tragic need to communicate we all suffer, universal themes in a modern world that connects us with one hand while alienating us with the other.

Or something.

[What the hell is wrong with it?]

So, wait, we're supposed to read those emails? Oh. I guess that explains why I've got it wrong so far.

Made me smile. With Ani's advice the rules of literature could been entirely re-written, not such a bad thing!
