This is an open trackbacks post. Link to this post and track back. After yesterday’s resounding success with SPAM “poetry” for Academia Nut Fruitcakes, here’s some more “creative genius” (and I almost typed that with a straight face, I did. Almost.) More below the brilliant poetry following…
Thanks to Angel at Woman Honor Thyself (although she may delist me from her blogroll for saying it :-)), the bit of genius below sprang full blown from my forehead:
Anyone recall the Burma Shave signs of the 50s? Each line of a 5/6-line piece of doggerel (usually ending in line six with “Burma Shaveâ€) was on a separate small roadside sign, so that reading them was simple time-lapse roadside entertainment.
An example:
“He tried
To cross
As fast train neared
Death didn’t draft him
He volunteered
Burma-Shaveâ€
Updated for today?
“He tried
To cross
Undercover
Got shot dead
He’ll not recover
Guarded Borders.â€
