Date

Mostly for this excellent little tumbler Am I Flirting

25. If I Write Terrible Poetry?

You are probably really rotten at writing poems. If children are being left behind in general education subjects, they’re being knocked out with sacks of doorknobs and left in junkyard tire-piles when it comes to poetry. But somewhere, deep down, the desire to use poetry for its intended purpose still stirs in even the most talentless amongst us. Its intended purpose is flirting.

Because we all share this basic understanding, don’t naively go giving poems away to gentlemen and ladies you don’t want to kiss. They will think you want to kiss them very much indeed.

In other news, according to Margaret Wente (My go to girl for controversial but not seriously annoying stance, for annoying I go to Ms. Blatchford.) or, according to health experts quoted in her column I am about 5 pounds shy of overweight? As if. This whole BMI thing seems mighty suspicious.
