We are getting snippy and contentious anymore. It doesn’t seem like anyone can have any fun anymore. So we have poets declaring on their posts that ass kissing doesn’t belong in poetry. Hmmm, I initially misread the post and thought he wrote ass kicking. I was thinking to myself that I can see room for both. Sometimes you do have kick ass and depending on the person, you may actually want to kiss their ass. It isn’t all bad.
No ass kissing
No poet slap fights
No fun of any kind
Then I see a poetry group that frowns upon poet slap fights. I mean, come on, are you suggesting we go for full on poet fist fights? I just don’t see that working. What was the immortal line from Groundskeeper Willie: “You speak like a poet but you punch like one, too.” Better to let poets slap fight and allow the illusion that they weren’t trying to hurt one another rather than let them actually have a fist fight and reveal the pathetic truth. Besides, I happen to like both ass kissing and poet slap fights. What can I say. I am a little kinky even if I did chicken out when my dominatrix suggested CBT. Being kinky doesn’t mean I need my scrotum scraped with sandpaper. I’ll take a hard pass on that one.
Let my poets slap
enjoy thy frenemy’s ass
all good in the end
