Put your MP3 player on shuffle, and write down the first line of the first twenty songs. Post the poem that results. The first line of the twenty-first is the title.
If Food Needed Pleasing You'd Suck All the Seasoning Off
You gotta go after the things you want while you're still in your prime
This is football I'm talking about here
Collapsing was much softer, still falling always hurt
I stopped the thought before its drip became insistent
Scene One: curtain up
They ask me how I feel and if my love is real
I know when to go out, and when to stay in and get things done
My dog wears a path on the same line
Goodnight, my angel, time to close your eyes
Silver couches to recline upon and ornaments of gold
All the things you said to me today
Subsequent to the events you have just witnessed
You dear attractive dewey-eyed idealist
This is the story of the trou macacq
Swallow your pride, make way for the new bride
I used to think that I could not go on
Words cannot describe all the things that I have left to write
Summertime in equatorial Manhattan
Soon a man will kneel to pray
The dust has finally settled on a field of human clay
I had to use a couple spoken word things, but best title EVER. I'm a little weirded out by how all that manages to work together fairly well.
In other news, I'm going to an office Christmas dinner tomorrow. Socializing??? whhhyyyyyyyyyy
