You Asked For This

Previously, I wrote a post with an illustrated poem in it. At the end of it, I asked for your feedback on whether I should do another post like that. An overwhelming response (two versus zero) told me to do more. So here I go, shoving more bad poetry into all of your throats. Enjoy!

A Sock Story (warning:bad rhyming)


Once upon a long time ago
I once had a pair,
of socks that needed more stitches
than any other pair.

They did not seem to be much loved
among the other socks.
In fact, they were regarded as
the lowest of all socks.

But then one day they took a tumble
down upon the floor.
They were the first of the whole bunch
to touch the spotless floor.

They stood in awe, in shock, in fear
of what they had just had done.
I picked them up and gave a glare---
they thought their tale was done.

But then, I next, just put them back,
ensuring their new fame.
The other socks now gathered round
and made them feel their fame.

“What happ--” “What's there?” “And what surprise?”
so clamored all the rabble.
“We fell.”, “The floor.”, “Nothing special.”
replied them to the rabble.
 
And thus the noises met their end;
the crowd then cleared away.
The two socks back to what they were;
their moment gone away.
 I'll do the same thing as before- there will be a vote. If you "like" this post, it means you want more poetry. If you "dislike," then I won't do it. 

The reason why I'm doing this is because poetry that people actually like is kind of rare and I'm not sure if my current readers would like this. And I'm insecure.  Also, these posts take a REALLY long time to make. So I might not have the time to make one until my next vacation, despite the votes. Here goes!

An Affordable Gift Guide for the Spectrum of your Friends

Hello! Firstly, I would like to say sorry about the EXTREME delay of this post (five days...what more do you want from me?) I just want to let any new readers know that this is uncommon--in fact, it is the longest that I have delayed a post. My excuse is that I was busy with being religious and stuff because as some of you may know, it is Passover. Now that I am done whining about how the world is too judgmental, here we go!

Have you ever lingered at the stalls of your local department store, only to desperately grab a box of mints at the last minute? Do you have a hard time deciding what to get for your friends? Fear no more! Here is a guide that would suit the needs of anybody's birthday needs. No-- it will suit the needs of the needs of the needs of the needs of your birthday..erm.. Lets stick with that last sentence.

I provide for you, a guide to get presents that would require nothing more than the knowledge of your friend's favorite color. Voila!

For your friends who prefer the dark side of the rainbow, here is a gift made especially for them:
This will make your friends cry of joy. Now they can see their favorite color forever---while being seemingly blind.

This friend obviously is a melancholy person. Therefore, the logical conclusion is...
That's right! This is for the friend's tears to fall in. No one will dare to ever knock this precious pail over!
This friend loves the smell of a crisp fresh dollar bill. Obviously, he would want to get rid of this habit, right?
This will solve all of his problems.
This friend is always bright, bouncy, happy and random. And what can be more random than...
That's right! This gift will be cherished for life.
Now what is the first thing that comes to one's mind when you see this color?
Now what would a red-lover love?
That's right! Red represents violence, and therefore, anyone who likes red must like violence. And as punching bags are too expensive, why not use a bag of mulch? It's not like this would make any difference!
Now this gift is for your friends whose interests were not included before. Whether they hate any color, or prefer fuchsia, this gift would be perfect for them.
I cannot imagine that there could be anyone on this planet who wouldn't appreciate a good fake mustache.
