Non-Hosted Week: Call For Anonymous Poetry

[jjhunter]

Since we have no official Poetry Host this week, this is an excellent time to post others' poetry, especially that which is anonymous and/or unconventionally distributed. Find a clever limerick scrawled on a bathroom stall? a haiku on a PostSecret card? a few lines on a bulletin board in a cafe or tucked inside a book? Please share.

Likewise, if you encounter a poem you like online, consider contacting the poet for permission to post it in full here, or choose a few lines to blockquote and link back to the poet's original post.

Warning: poem under the cut uses strong graphic/vulgar language.

there's something about
sitting on toilets that prompts
existential angst

Very very NSFW limerick

[untonuggan]

Passed on to me verbally from a 96-year-old poet (who is not the author). I'm not sure when he heard it, but there are several other internet versions floating around. I think his is best. Reminder: very NSFW (you started it, jjhunter ).

( NSFW limerick (aren't those the best kind?) )
