  A lot of folks like to play Friday Five, but I have found some thing new. It's called "Bouts Râmes." They come up with a list of words and a rhyme scheme in which those words must be used. It's my job to create a poem from them. Go to the link to check out this weeks. Please forgive my miniscule poem, as I'm not very good at creative writing. (Something this evidence is proof of. I copied bumper stickers a few days ago. How original.)

The other day in a bar
I was starting to fume
There was a man with guitar
wearing a purple plume
He was preaching his tripe
A moralistic torpedo
I was feeling quite ripe
and I yelled, "Screw your dang credo!"

In short, I'm not a poet and I do know it. Go try it.
