A Stupid Poem
4 years ago
I never write poetry. But for some reason I felt compelled to rhyme "parenthetically" with something. Don't ask me what's going on here. I have no idea what the event might have been.

A Stupid Poem
As he sorted them alphabetically
He thought to himself (parenthetically)
That there must be a better way than this
So he tried once again, by height
Hoping that, perhaps, he just might
Achieve an order that would not feel so amiss
It did not, though he tried,
He remained completely unsatisfied
So he lined them up again, this time by age
But by the time his subjects all were sorted
The event had long been aborted
The theater was empty ere he led them onto the stage

To me this is about the human need to categorize things that can’t be categorized because they are too unique. Human personality defies categorization yet thousands of books have been written claiming it can be.

Very creative, keep it coming Arctos.
Simply list them all in order of appearance!
He should have lined them up by size :)
too funny!
