I thought it would be an edifying experiment to see what my Autorantic Virtual Moonbat could accomplish with the same ‘Where I’m From’ fill-in-the-blanks poem template used by Jan. While Jan’s poem came out quite expressive and moving, the AVM’s attempt at versifying came out thusly. (I think it’s just barely good enough to be a Garrison Keillor monologue, or a Bruce Springsteen single.)
WHERE I’m From!!!
by Autorantic Virtual Moonbat
I am from lentils, from CBS and NPR!
I am from pollutant-free dental insurance, migrant, INSURGENT, where Jerry Falwell electrocutes the OUTSOURCED Wiccans!!
I am from the FERNS, the mollusks!!!?
I am from DRUM circles and HUMANITIES grants, from Noam and Hillary and Fidel and Kim!!
I am from the appalled and malodorous!
From “Bush lied, people DIED” and “Not in my name”!!!
I AM from free health care. The Rechimplicants STOLE the ELECTION by drafting the intersexed voters in SWEDEN (while General Electric happily sat on the sidelines)!!? Drop dead!
I’m from Kyoto AND Ramallah, tofu and free chocolate!!!
From where 18,996 gay Arabs were raped, untold BILLIONS of uninsured woodlands were stabbed, and the NASCAR dads shredded inclusivity on the ORDERS of the logging industry!!
I am from THE Blogosphere. I REJECT profits. I am NOT ONE of Glenn REYNOLDS’s legion of brownshirts. You JUST don’t get it, do you!!!?
