Thread Name: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Subject: RE: BS: The Mother of all BS threads
Tho' the poet remains anonymous
Cognoscenti know it's just Amos
Trifling again with foot and rhyme
Desperately clutching at sublime
Meter, scansion, words and verse
Making matters ten time worse
Forcing rhymes and sense attack
Hashing, grunting, pushed syntax
Everything to assume a part
That rhymes to create a word like "art".
