    Poetry....the good , bad and ugly

    This is my version of "Incense and Peppermints". Its about a guy who steals a kitten. He takes it home and falls asleep watching cartoons with said kitten. His wife had put out incense and peppermints for them. She was asleep when he got home. I decided to bring the inanimate objects of incense and peppermints to life as he feels guilty and has a nightmare about two thugs on a crime spree...

    Incense and Peppermints

    Incense and Peppermints both doin' time,
    Cheap tricks drug addicts,
    Who dropped a dime?,
    Who cares what things they do,
    As long as it doesn't concern me or you?
    Gentile Shish K Bobs ,
    Kosher deli,
    How bout' dinner now?
    Just you and me?
    Please don't pull on me,
    I won't push on you,
    If that's a mystery ,
    Call Scooby -Doo,
    Look in my window at the TV,
    If cartoons aren't real,
    Then explain Bugs Bunny,
    Incense and Peppermints,
    Followed a nurse ,
    Downtown knocked her down,
    Then stole her purse,
    Who cares what things they do,
    As long as it doesn't concern me or you?
    Tick tock break the clock,
    Your watch or mine ,
    Is stealing a kitten really a crime ?
    Who cares what things they say?
    Incense and Peppermints,
    Live for today...

    My poetry is so bad, I can't even write a good parody. I might try on this thread, however.

    My version of "Sittin on the Dock of the Bay"


    Sittin' on the dock of the bay,
    Headless bodies floating away,
    Sittin on the dock of the bay,
    Doin time ,
    Life plus one day ,
    Left my home in Georgia,
    Hacked a $#@!er up in LA,
    He had nothing to live for,
    If he's missed it won't be today,
    Sittin on the dock of the bay,
    Doin time ,
    Life plus one day,
    Who knows what two people do?
    If it comes down to me or you?
    What are they gonna do?
    Up my sentence to life plus two?
    Sittin on the dock of the bay,
    Body parts get in my way ,
    This ain't home on the range,
    Time may change but remains the same ,
    Just sittin on the dock of the bay
    Doin' time ,
    Life plus one day....

    I totally don't get poetry. I have a somewhat artistic mind but I never understood poetry.

    Don't know if this is true, I might have read it in a bathroom reader or something but the shortest documented poem is: Adam had'em
    my junk is ugly
