An astroid rockets toward Earth
Mothers scream while giving birth
Children run and play about
Bosses come and point and shout
People to the store and buy
A five year old told her first white lie
A dog put to sleep
A family less to eat

A man with a telescope finds
A small star with many lines
Then it hits not a star
No it's an astroid by far
Sharing his find with a friend
For an expert they send
A big find they did have
A 12 mile astroid through earth will stab

So the world leaders were told
Of extinction of mankind old
So they thought of what to do
To save 6 billion not so few
The idea was made
So as to not let mankind fade
To send a shuttle up above
To save their home they now love

It will be maned with the best
And have one woman no more no less
A fight they intend to win
In all actuality it does not matter who they send
Because all goes well
For it's whatever makes a movie sell

Blue Monkey,
That's one of the worst poems I ever read.
It's a good thing that I know absolutely nothing about poetry. Otherwise, you would have good reason to be depressed.

What is the point in telling me you know nothing about poetry?

I wrote that five years ago. So I don't care if you don't like it. Not everyone will like my stuff.

Your opinion on the matter is worth as much as you know about poetry. Nothing.

Thanks for you great and kind criticism. I think I will remember your name and you better beware. What comes around goes right back where it came from. boomerang effect.

You tossed it, prepare to receive it. The BlueMonkey is fairly amused by your existence, it isn't nothing death couldn't fix.

That was my point, Blue.... that my opinion means naught.
I wuz being facecious.
Death sounds good compared to what I typically endure in a day. In-laws, broken water pipes, out of perscription drugs, on and on.....

I am sorry. I did not take that too lightly because I don't like when people say "worst" to me. I know not everyone is going to like it but not liking it and saying it is the worst are two diffrent things.

So I am slightly sensitve on matters like that. Sorry.

No problemo. If I posted one of my (vulgar) poems, most folks would hate it for real. They probably would come and kill me. Well, maybe just maim me and leave me to be a useless cripple for the rest of my life.
