Do not read this. I repeat, do not read this.

Simple Pieman met Paul Simon,
Going to the faire.
Says Simple Pieman to Paul Simon,
Let me strip you bare.
Says Paul Simon to Simple Pieman,
Show me first your guinea
Says Simple Pieman to Paul Simon,
Might I call you Ginny?

I notice that 20 people read this post even though I told them not to.

I'm very disappointed in those of you who disobeyed my wishes.

Poetry, No I don't hate
Rhyming words, I think they're great
Whether it's Whitman, Frost or Poe
Poetry makes my imagination grow

I love poems about lots of different things
Like scary talking ravens with big black wings
Nobody doesn't like Annabel Lee
I buy her cakes at the grocery.

I like writing, if you wanna know why?
'Cause this poem is so beautiful, it makes me cry

The only reason I read this thread is because you told me not to. So, it's totally your fault! I take no responsibility, or blame. I will graciously accept your disappointment, though.

I admire your rebellious spirit, Lonnie!

Feel free to disappoint or disobey me anytime!

You'll be happy to know I did NOT read this, including the poems or Lonnie's response.

Worst Dr Seuss story EVER.

The coronavirus is really very bad
It'll kill your mom and it'll kill your dad
It'll kill your dog and It'll kill your cat
It'll even kill your uncle Pat

It'll kill your brother and sister too
It'll even kill your sweet aunt Sue
It'll kill your cousins, gramps and granny
It'll hit you hard, and knock you on your fanny

There isn't much that it won't kill
Even if you take a pill
It'll make you sick and it'll make you ill
It'll make your vomit bucket spill

It'll make you cough 'til you hack up a lung
And it doesn't much care if you're old or young
It's for you dear children that I write this story
I hope it wasn't too bloody. Hope it wasn't too gory

I scrolled fast, but did read Lonnie's response… just because!

… we're going to have to work harder to make this as interesting as Hector's *Delete* thread, but since I've now watched the first two episodes of The Boys, I can even more confidently declare Watchmen superiority.

I appreciate your honesty, friend.

...just because is always the best reason for doing anything!
