In silence, I bow my head.

My poetic wit, bested by GratefulCitizen.

Unable to respond, my tears fall.

Two sonnets of six word lines.

Who would have thunk it possible.

Not I, thought Box, not I.





GratefulCitizen has been hoarding the mojo.

GratefulCitizen, frustrated, let out a wail.
“Circling” has two syllables! Major fail!

Iambic pentameter filled him with wrath.
Not unexpected. He majored in math.

Thirsty Thursday, I need a drink...

And things, as things do, changed...

Even in silence, there is chaos...

“Floccinaucinihilipilification” is essentially a valueless word.
