Dear Sir, With reference to that Plume Gateau, I bought from you a week ago, The bugger's furry and the icing's grey. I do not wish to be a boor. It's not the money (I'm not poor), It's just that I wanted it for Tom's birthday. And when I came to cut this cake, My knives they bend and then they break. It seems a wicked take-on trick to me, I've always found you're standards high, So pardon that I raise this cry, But this is more than calamity. It's a bloody rip off! Yours sincerely. Dear Sir (a reply came by return of post), We much regret this incident, We find it without precedent, And all the staff concerned have now been fired. We've had the baker shot at dawn, And burned his house and all the corn, That is used for making bread and cakes for the entire population of Northern Canada as punishment. Yours truly. And I still didn't get my money back.

No, I am an artistic genious! My talents will outshine your pathetic little mock-life 10 times at least! Now, begone with you, or I will mock you a second time.

This reminds of a style I've seen before, by the guy who wrote these;
Plume Gateau
Shouting at Dogs
Naylor's handbag
Brand new blue book jacket
Teaching beetles to swim
The Kid
Pet Hatreds
Shoe hole
Down on Dogs
Pelted with stones on the common

Oddly enough, you seem to have written the mas well, although somewhat after the creation of these timeless classics, how could that be? Oh I know, cos you're a loser.

I do wish people would read the comments, then they might notice my frequent admissions to plagiarism.

If only I still had my orange wings people needn't comment so self-righteously.

This poem was written by Robert Rankin. You've just copied it you fraud

You have stolen this poem from Robert Rankin and attempted to pass it off as your own work.

YOU ARE A FRAUD, A PLAGIARIST, AND A THIEF!
