Addicted to writing feeble poetry's more like it.
All this because you can't find your evacuation harness? I'm touched, really, I am.
Free plugs are, well, hard to come by.
Thank you.
I, of course, must give this a 10. But there are some errors I would like to point out.
1. My step mother stole the 13 grand. (Jane)
2. My mother is actually Hungarian, Basque, and German, South American indian.
3. Motherfucking, works better. I've never been
fond of diminutives.
I'm pleased you can laugh still being that
backed up and constipated. It means there
is still hope.
I like this a lot. I didn't think it was patronizing or racist, and I honestly don't see anything in this to suggest that it is. I think people are assuming that you're belittling the current Chinese space adventure, but obviously you're not. Even though I didn't know the legend of Wan Hu, I picked up on the intimation that this was based on legend, from the language, the storytelling voice, the fact that you named names, etc. Easy enough to find the original story; here's one telling: http://cnnstudentnews.cnn.com/2003/TECH/
It's interesting that you would see it as patronizing and racist (I didn't intend it that way). But you're not the only one to think that so there must be something to it.
Have you ever heard of the story about the guy who found a jet engine and strapped it to his El Camino and launched himself into the side of a mesa wall? I used to love telling that story and I always assumed the guy was the same color as I am.
I think this poem is more about how things get started, or to be succint, 'every great idea is ugly in its infancy'. I meant this as such a wide contrast to actually sending someone into space. It is a praise of the taikonauts, not a slam.
I hate gym shoes. I hate poop. I hate dancing. But I love poetry 9.
Like it always does.
No, now that's been reversed. It's fashionable to be hopelessly stupid with technological promise, just look at poet and know it.
No.
Will these hands ne'er be dry?

Today, "The Sun" had an article about this, although the main focus was the fact that they'd had to invent a space-Chinese-takaway, which he had eaten in orbit around the Earth.
Hm, maybe you should write a poem about that.
Like in "The Sixth Sense?"

Don't they have an advert saying "Turn your 'phone off now" at the beginning, and then if someone forgets everyone turns round and looks at them in a disproving fashion?
That was your one fatal mistake, 195.157.153.253.
He'll be back for the nails!
I like this, clever but why did his pet hatreds leave when he bought the nails.
Yes you pretend you are thick just so all the other thikos like you.
But why do you let your mask slip
I AM SUPERB
THEREFORE I MUST VOTE -10-
Yep like it, especially the way the last line makes everything clear.
A little bit patronising and racist though.
