Jack, Hobbes, Martin and I.

Jack, Hobbes, Martin and I.

 

Well, I managed to wake up with a great

sense of nihilism with a side of

Roman Imperialism (not that

the two are having an affair). Then a

Stoic came by and we played a preemp-

tive game of chess, since the winner had been

destined to win and we wanted to prove

a point to the future. But then we re-

alized that it had already been fated

for us to resist the future, so we

baked a hash cake with Martin Luther and

Thomas Hobbes; after baking the cake, we

all participated in a lengthy

shouting match about determinism.

Martin Luther won by nailing a co-

py of his Ninety-Five Theses onto

the coattails of Thomas Hobbes. Thomas then

climbed the steeple of Saint Peter’s basil-

ica and threw hash brownies at the pope.

Hobbes was pardoned by Jack Daniel. Jack, Hobbes,

Martin and I then found Captain Morgan’s

ship and Jack argued with Morgan about

who could make better alcohol. They soon

after realized that their bickering

was futile, so we all sailed away and

set a land speed record for a grounded

ship piloted by radioactive

Stephen Hawkings. Morgan steered his ship to

the doorstep of my house. I walked in and

my wife told me that we were having Mod-

ernism with a side of Zemo of

Citium. I told her that it is won-

derful and then the moose sang. He said, “I

guess ideas have to intermingle

and have fun with each other on occa-

sion.” It’s good to know that the only per-

son making sense is a moose.

Author's Note

I would hope I somehow don't inadvertently offend some people by this, but those people would be very unfortunate members of society.

amusing write.........

[DearSweetAgony]

This write is very different, I've never read anything remotely like this before. I can see how someone may be offended by this particular write, but then again its poetry! I really enjoyed this write, flawless job!

I think the point of writing is to offend some people. I really love this piece, especially the beginning with the clash of the great minds. I'm actually wondering why you broke up some of the end words. I dig it though. I'm really bad at giving suggestions for poems. The only thing I can think of is to play with the breaking up of the words. Like when you read the first half, you get one meaning, but when you read the rest, it changes. But it might throw off the entire rhythm of the poem. Good job!
