picture poem slam

Uncle needs to shave his beard:
Every year he comes to visit
and every year it gets bigger
Always with the hug and kiss
never with the shave and cut
I cannot help but question
does food get stuck in it?
do birds nest there?
does it keep his neck warm?
is he ashamed of his chin?
I love my uncle dearly
but Uncle needs to shave his beard!

original poem

Heres my poem y'all used:

Cut in the Endzone, I know I can
Run run run leap reach
catch him despite him being taller man
life is stilled, grass looks like a beach
close, very close maybe he'll drop
body sweat leaving me damp
noonday flight, he came out on top
curse my legs and that bad cramp...

rewritten, ripped poem

Why is there so much anger
Security of home is now gone
You hide there in specs
While I am from antiques and candles
I am from family and friends
and pictures in every room
I'm not told no
and in that death what may rise to live

Weekend to Friends:

Damn them. Damn their negative 18 rushing yards. Fuck them for sucking ass on a game they shouldve easily managed, and fuck them for me still loving them and expecting them to make a playoff run. Oh was that an ugly game, dammit it was just upsetting, ruined my weekend... bastards.... at least Roy got me huge fantasy points, but id rather have a fucking "W" oh wellguess ill just get over it and move on to the week, gonna be a crappy week though, this stuff always affects me more than it should

not to sound like a toper (thank you crossword puzzles!) but lets go get a drink

My Weekend to my professor....

Dear Professor,

This weekend was ruined all because of sunday afternoon. Most sundays this semester have been fairly good, in fact id say 6 out of the past 8 weekends have been great. And why, because the Lions were 6-2 heading into the weekend against an inferior Arizona Cardinals team. Sure normal people dont let their moods and weekends be defined by the performance of a sporting event, but i guess im not that normal of a person. Friday and Saturday were standard normal weekend days, hanging with friends and causing small amounts of trouble. But sunday, oh sunday, the day of rest and the day where i can relax, enjoy a good game of football and end the day with alittle homework and planning for the upcoming week. But this sunday, oh this cursed sunday, that crappy game ruined any good notion or feeling for school work and concentration. Well thats what i did this weekend.

Sincerely,
Dave Mandrick

Found Poetry

From Shakespeares Macbeth soliloquy:

A poor player in this petty pace
frets his hour with lighted fools
Out, out brief candle!
full of sound and fury
Life's but a walking shadow;
Told by an idiot.

Why stars shine...

Long ago the sun was very proud of its Light, so proud in fact that it bragged and bragged about its glorious rays and brillance until everything else around it wanted to spend no time with it. As a result the Moon, a much more humble entity became very popular. Stars and planets spent more time with the Moon than with sun. For a long time the Sun never noticed because it was so full of its own radiance, but eventually nobody was around for the Sun to brag to, and the Sun began to sink. The Moon is a kindly soul, and felt pity for the oft-arrogant Sun, knowing in truth that Sun was just another Star that simply thought too much of itself. As a result the Moon began making trips out to Sun during the day, Eclipses!! Now when the stars saw this they began to worry that both the Moon and the Sun would become arrogant and leave them out by themselves in the vastness of space. Stars unfortunately do not understand the complexities of love, they only grasp Shining, Radiance, and Brightness. so the Stars did the only thing they knew how to do best, Shine. And they continue to shine for fear that the Moon will leave them for the Sun. The Moon is a wise old rock, he is aware of the Stars envy and the Suns arrogance, but there is one other thing He knows of, He knows of me and you.

PART TWO

Dear "Dr." Phil,
I hate you. I want you to stop being on TV, radio, and any form of public forum. I would also think it swell if you stopped clubbing baby seals, puppies and small children. Last i checked they dont give doctorates to people for being idiots, and yet you continue to have that "DR" in front of your name. If we ever meet in a dark alley i hope for your sake you have taken some self defense classes because i dont think i have the self restraint not to pummel you like you pummel the respect real doctors should have. I have to give you credit for one thing though, i never realized that "Jackass" had its own accent, thank you for clarifying that for me. In closing, you suck. Have a pleasant day and for goodness sake stop calling OCB your office!

Sincerely,
Dave Mandrick
