The Honeydew Heist!

I’m thinking what we have here is a failure to communicate — I keep saying sorry I took your stuff, you keep thinking I mean it!

Well I guess I could care, but I don’t, so without further honey ado — let’s start in as we intend to proceed, counting down the various words and parodies I stole, and then wordclouded because I’m chill like that, I thrill like that, and gosh-darnit I kill like that!

Poems at Valdosta State University — which is actually in the State of Georgia not in the State of Valdosta if you were as confused as I was — does not keep links around forever.

AND

So — out of luck here!

AND once again — another student, another occasion of missing content!

I especially like this one

This is just to say

Carlo Davis ‘12

I have slain

the Jabberwock

That whiffled

through the

Tulgey wood

Forgive me

my vorpal blade

was so slithy

and so manxome

Nice way to not have to put a lot of work into your William Carlos Williams parody while still coming off like a smartass and producing something interesting and worthwhile. You have my respect, Carlo Davis.

This is Just to say

I have crashed your thesis

Which you were probably hoping to inflict on someone

Good God!

What were you thinking?

Did you really think

you could

get away with it.

So cold.

Tor.com believes in cool uris that don’t change, which is that link from 15 years ago is still good and giving the gift that keeps on giving. I’m of course talking about This is Just To Say. parodies

And the blog and link that was referenced here — archived agin — here it is “Kiet Ville!”

And once again we come to the end of another cheery crime wave from everybody’s favorite stealer of fruit!

Playlist!
