dragonblogger — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:22:37 +0000

Termination is about an employee who was discovered performing nefarious activities and terminated from his place of employment. It was crafted with 15 random words (in blue) provided by today’s twitter players:
@rembeatz (Management), @coryzone (impossible), @GarbageManBrian (stopwatch), @GeB0i (blithe), @Jan_Geronimo (buzz), @AttilaBS (allocate), @stevejclark (expectorate), @HarleyQuinnAA (Intergalactic), @mrscwin (Kleenex), @SurfCityJay (mitigation), @anefallarme (expired), @Ileane (Thundersnow), @hammyhavoc (Multifarious), @pauldsimpson (stupify), @JamesBlackLive (hibernation)

You can listen to the poem read aloud here:

or instead, just read the poem below:

Termination

Impossible management thundersnow confrontation
abject failure to instill blithe mitigation

An ominous leader with claims you cannot deny
he lays down the charges attempting to stupefy

heart ticking like an expired stopwatch
sweat beading from head to your crotch

multifarious embezzlement and grand extortion
judgement rendered of intergalactic proportion

they allocate a sentence, prompt termination
this career is now in permanent hibernation

hacking expectorate in a protest this way
Kleenex picked up as he bids you “Good Day”

you buzz out of the office for the last time
as you ponder the costs of your ways of crime

I was in a very energetic mood today and enjoyed creating this poem which I find to be quite humorous based on the 12 random words provided to me from twitter.Â I also felt like narrating the poem so I recorded it and posted it (you can click the play button at the top of this post to listen to me reading the poem).Â Thanks to all my twitter followers who played today and submitted words (in blue):

@Miragi (insipid), @grumpy79 (stressed), @reluctantaqua (energy), @coyotesqrl (inflection), @SurfCityJay (staff), @kar314 (fever), @or1gb1u3 (samurai), @azredneck (apple), @billnega (grunt), @cheth (dragon), @infohwyman , serendipity), @howelegant (neatly)

As always, if you want to play my twitter poetry game just send me a word to @dragonblogger on twitter every weekday, I look forward to creating more unique poems based from random words.

The Gifted Telemarketer

You take a bite out of the insipid green apple
Washing it down with a gulp of your Snapple
Stressed as always, wishing you could laugh
About being a grunt, just one of the company’s staff

Just as you are pondering those things
Inside your house the phone then rings
A neatly laid pitch over the phone
Serendipity can be yours something never known

The altering inflection of the persons voice
Doing its job convincing you have no choice
Sharing a few dozen reasons about how why
Without this product people would just die

Like a noble samurai cutting through an ancient evil
Or villagers rising against a dragon in a great upheaval
The enthusiastic energy drives you almost into a fever
The words spoken over the phone converting you into a believer

For a small price of nineteen ninety nine
Your life can go from boring to fine
Think of all that you can construct
Just from owning this fine product

Bug In A Tank

dragonblogger — Tue, 06 Jan 2009 03:39:26 +0000

I wrote another poem with my young son at his request, I let him come up with a title and some of the lines and together we created the rhyming lines.Â He did the voice recording and enjoyed it the entire time.

Bug In A Tank

This is my bug in the tank
Which I have my dad to thank

He caught it for me
Found it in a tree

It can be called a grasshopper
but really locust is more proper

It jumps up in the air so high
I hope that away it won’t fly

It eats sticks and leaves so green
I keep the tank all nice and clean

Speckled yellow with brown spots
Even having some white dots

Finding him was good luck
But momma thinks bugs are yuck

-Poem by Dragon Blogger and Son
