I hope a limerick is ok, it's a bit wordy but this is my best shot:
There was once a man whose life couldn't be finer,
Until one day he decides to build the worlds biggest miner,
He ordered 100 units from butterfly labs,
After seeing all those pre-order ads,
Now he is eating scraps from the dumpster outside the diner.
There was once a man whose life couldn't be finer,
Until one day he decides to build the worlds biggest miner,
He ordered 100 units from butterfly labs,
After seeing all those pre-order ads,
Now he is eating scraps from the dumpster outside the diner.
jimmijames was quite a funny man.
But his limerick just wouldn't scan.
He put up a good fight,
But try as he might,
It just wouldn't work. But it can:
A man whose life couldn't be finer,
Decided to build the world's biggest miner.
He called Butterfly Labs,
After seeing the ads,
And now he's a poor dumpster diner.

That flows much better!
You Shakespeared my Vanilla Ice.
A white horse fell into the mud.

I usually do sad, dark, or tragic poems. So here's a try at a happy one:
There once was a man named Dank,
He wanted to buy a Hookah Lounge,
Yet he had no money at all,
So he asked for over half a million dollars online.
Because you see, Dank was a scammer,
He scammed tons of people.
He scammed my dad,
And my mother.
That dirty, dirty scammer.
Though it was obvious,
I cannot say,
My mom and dad didn't have enough money left for the three of us.
So there was a man,
A man named Felix,
Living at another place.
But that's okay,
Because now Dank will wonder,
Yes he'll wonder,
Why nobody else was stupid enough to fall for his scam.
But one day I'll find him,
And I'll surely scam him,
And then I'd get my half a million back.
But so far that's only a dream,
So if you see a man named Dank,
Find the man named Felix and tell him,
Because then,
I'd give you immortality,
And also ten BitCoins.

A grocer once sold lots of oranges.
Alas, his slippery floor injures.
When the customer sued,
The grocer was screwed.
He lost everything, even the door hinges.

Poetry Contest
How creative and poetic can you be, BitcoinTalk? Post your poems for a chance to win at least 100 mB!

Rules:
The Overall Best Poem will win the prize of 100 mB (0.1 bitcoin) (plus any tips from other readers). Depending on submissions, additional prize categories may be added (funniest, most eloquent, best love poem, most creative, etc.)
I will select my favorite submission in one week, so the judging will happen on Thursday, June 6th 2013. Anything posted by the time I read to the end of the thread will be eligible to win.

Multiple entries are allowed, but users will only be eligible to win in one category.
Poems can be in any form, language, whatever you want. I only read English, so I doubt any other language will win, but you can go ahead an post it if you really want.
