crazy thought of the day

[nelsonbob]

Slam only for poets 35+?

Everybody seems hell bent for leather to get these tweens slamming...

Just sayin'

The "Senior Slam." Been pushing this idea for years.

If you go down to 30+ I might come out of retirement.

dave, you should be grandfathered in because your soul is older than thirty.

those same age restrictions should also apply to the judges. bob, my trip to mad cap last thursday only reinforced my distaste for twenty-year olds whining about their lives. get on that fucking forty-hour work week train for thirty-six years, take that gut-punch and then tell me about life. "daddy hit my brother!" maybe your brother should have behaved himself. my dad hit me so hard one time that i saw stars. and you know what? what i did to deserve it i never did again. did i cry about it? no. did i ever write a poem about it for the purpose of securing slam points for my team? fuck no. would a slam judge my age let a poet get away with that ploy at a slam? i would hope not.

I believe that's what I said to Bill the other day. There should be an adult slam, and whining about your life should be banned.

aw man! whining about my life is what I do best! it's why I consider myself twenty-nineteen! :-P

it's an interesting idea. I think the young ones need the old heads to give perspective. but that is just me I'm sure.
