Your infected child

You should burn in hell
isn't so loving
But
My kid contracted measles on the bus
Now I want to make a huge fuss
Parents who don't vaccinate are irresponsible fools
They should have their kids yanked from parks and schools
sounds soooo much nicer! |
OK, cassandra, I almost choked laughing!!!
Yeah, I guess if you have 17 syllables in which to deliver your venom, it wouldn't sound as pleasant as a regular "AABB" poem, in which you need to be extra verbose to fill up the lines for rhythm and search for appropriate words for rhyme. Plenty of chances to stick some "sugar" in there.

And not going to John school to stay out of the slammer.
(This is the edited version. The other one was funnier and rhymed better, but might have gotten me into trouble.) |
see? this is funny ( had you said it in prose... not so much!!!!)

It's not all that funny, just funnier than when I cleaned it up to post. I think the buildup may lead to disappointment.

Ya'll are too funny,
Ya'll are quite a riot,
Maybe rhyming tochaha
makes it easier to buy it!
And if you are verbose
And haiku is not for you
Stick with what you know
that goes for amother too.
