Clever scheme.  Works really well for this material.

(Lou & Peter Berryman did pretty much the same thing with "Do you
think it's gonna rain?", but in the other direction.)

i don't know who Lou & Peter Berryman are, so i'll have to nod my head 
smile as if i understand. i wrote this in like 3 minutes on the fly of 
boredom.

Time flies like an arrow.
The fly of boredom likes pop.  Did I mention that?

<laughing out loud at #3>

is #3 an insult to me???  are you saying i'm the fly of boredom?
just because you're warped sense of talent (or lack of) deprives you to 
be able to read and acknowledge others talent (or lack of) doesn't mean 
you have to be an asshole about it. you want to criticize, then do it. 
but don't fucking dog me like that.

No, it's not an insult at all.  You said you wrote this "on the fly of
boredom," and I thought that was an interesting phrase.  I didn't mean to
offend.

"Talent" wrt this item is non-sequitorial. Stating that you wrote something
off-the-cuff in three minutes and then becoming irate because somebody refuses
to acknowledge your talent (or lack of) is pure arrogance.

And I thought #3 was fairly funny, and hardly an insult, and I'm pretty good
at subliminable insults.

EVERYTHING hot IS sex SUBLIMINAL

("Everything hot is sex" I understand, but what's this 'subliminal' business
doing at the end of it?  Some sort of secret message, maybe?)

ok, i didn;t understand that, sorry. i coulcn't tell what you meant. 
i thought you meant like: the fly of boredom
meaning i'm the fly of boredome. like a little insect or something. and 
that i like pop. the fly of boredom like pop, saying this fly likes pop 
calling me who likes pop a fly of boredom. i got confused. 
if you read my poetry, you can understand i get confused alot.
and i wasn't getting mad, i have little to no talent when i set my mind 
to it. and lately, i've really sent my mind to not showing any talent 
what so ever. cept for my poem "what happened" where i actually give in 
some thought.
everyone's cool with each other then? cool. let's get back to more 
poetry...
