One time at uni, we stole our next-door neighbours’ clothes pegs (they were really cute and small and pink). Anyway, when they finally noticed, they sent us a demand letter, to which my friends and I responded with a peg variation of This is Just to Say. So delicious and sweet and cold…

To which they responded with “fucking weirdos, you eat pegs.”

It was the start of a long and violent night.

Thank you autostraddle for bringing back memories…

i guess thats overkill when i think about it but who can find a better filler when there’s nothing better to say?

Always been a favorite, and possibly the only poem I’ve ever had memorized. It’s just so good.

But, yeah, these three are great and I like them very much. And this article is well-written and I like Pure Poetry week (month? please) very much. So I won’t get cranky/indignant/rude/ridiculous.
