We're serious: Let 'er R.I.P.
_________________________________________________
Poetry, Inc, developed with nary a plan in mind and launched on June 10, 2008 (pay no heed to the year on this post), intends to take poetry snark to yet another level--
A lower level?
Who can say? We're too new to know...
Consider us the funny aunt or uncle to the more serious Poets.net...
Do you like humor, satire, parody, and just plain snark?
Do you believe that Poetry, Inc (a.k.a. the poetry establishment) has itself become a parody and is worthy of humorous jabs at its antics and perps?
Are you hankering to write comedy for Comedy Central or Conan O'Brien?
If so, apply to join Team Poetry, Inc. In the subject line, type "I Want To Join Team Poetry, Inc!"
We are in search of 100 snarkers (Blogger's absolute limit) to join our snark project.
We can't promise that your participation will lead to bigger and better things--in fact you may even end up on the Poetry Blacklist!
To apply for this double-edged honor, paste in your email a sample of your writing:
--Humorous/snarky poetrySnark on!
--Humorous/snarky prose

When Bin Ramke was a little baby,
Sittin' on his papa's knee,
Well he picked up a poem and another poem, too,
Said, "Contest gonna be the death of me, Lord, Lord!
Contest gonna be the death of me!"
Ramke had a judge for a contest,
Her name was Jorie Graham,
And when the winner was announced, who do you think it was?
Maybe it was Jorie's man, Lord, Lord!
Maybe it was Jorie's man.
But the judge it was a secret,
So nobody really knew,
Just another winner and just another prize,
And nobody cares about you, Lord, Lord!
And nobody cares about you!
Well, the man who invented the contest fee,
He thought he was mighty fine,
He made great poets out of all his friends
And there was money left for cheese and wine, Lord, Lord!
There was mony left for cheese and wine!
