Avocado

You sad dismal Avocado you

Forged,

Through the chains of an insidious bicycle

Hidden,

Lugubriously like an algebra equation

Precarious,

Up in that tree house

Run,

Be free like an innuendo

Author's Note

Something I wrote during an exercise for a creative writing course I'm taking this term, this was supposed to be a "bad poem" using 10 random words; I thought it's worth a share. Enjoy!

We had to use as many of these words as possible:

Sad
Insidious
Dismal
Avocado
Bicycle
Lugubrious
Algebra
Precarious
Tree house
Innuendo

P...I gave it a try, too, just for the hell of it. It was indeed fun...enjoyed it. For me the point of exercises like this are simply to make new connections between words. That's probably why it can easily be funny....humour can be described as making strange connections after all.

One final point, if by 'bad poem' was meant incomprehensible or opaque...it achieved its objective. But like the other reviewer said, 'At least it's kind of funny.' Thanx...bobc

Haha, I think I will start a competition with this.

[bobc]

you missed the mark if you were going for bad poetry

precarious is one of my favorite words, and the last two lines are just absolutely epic

It makes no sense whatever but that okay. At least it's kind of funny
