Poem No.2
Scrolling through the ‘bakery,
Reading the ideas,
Taking in the annos,
All the boos and all the cheers.
Some of them are practical
And some of them are witty,
And all of them inspired me
To write this little ditty.
The Ravings of an Eedjit (Poem No.1)
I met a surfer from a half-baked site
Who said: One croissant and a pile of bones
Stand by my idea. And beneath, in harsh anno’s,
half sunk, my shattered posting lies, whose prose
And spelling poor, and mix of many tense
Tell that its author was not well read.
Which yet survive, writ on the world wide web,
By pedants mocked and newbies shred;
And on my posting these words appear:
“We should use nanobots, and GM tech;
Why can’t we all just learn to share?”
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
of that vast WIBNI, heated and terse,
The flames stretch down the page.
e-mail MrKeithManiac at hotmail etc, etc
Advice to new halfbakers:
Don't try too hard! The best ideas are the ones that appear in your head out of nowhere. If you have to take more than a few seconds to think about it then it's probably not that good.
Of course this is no guarantee of quality, but it will save a lot of wasted time.
