A Random Poem

     I went to write a random poem

     For Neopets today

     I thought to rhyme about a Uni

     But I forgot how rhyming works.

     I could write about a Gelert

     And use an a/b/c/b rhyme scheme

     But when I tried to rhyme with Neopets

     I forgot how syllables work.

     I could try iambic pentameter

     And write an ode to a Baby Chomby

     But when I tried to pen my epic

     I just forgot how many lines.

      Perhaps I could have tried

     An a/a/a/a rhyme scheme-ified

     A poem about how that Kougra LIED

     But as I try I forget that rhymes need end with the same syllable.

      I guess it's just easier

     To write a poem that isn't random

     For even when there's Cybunny rhymes to peruse

     I just forgot how lines and couplets and rhythm works and wound up with this really long run-on sentence instead of line 4.

     Finally I thought

     I could write a cute haiku

     On a Baby Kau

     But I forgot how lines and syllables go together and accidentally gave it a fourth line.

     As I try to write my Neopets poem it’s clear

     That I forgot how to poem

     As evidenced by my use of

     Poem as a verb, which shows I forgot how to word

     Oh well, this random poem

     Didn't go the way it ought

     There's no tales of Neopets because

     It didn't go the way it ought. To. I guess.

     In the end I suppose

     A poem just is what it is

     And you can’t force it to be

     A thing that it isn’t
