It seems good ole KnightRider (me not the TV show) will be making an apperance in Celebration of Young Poets. How you may say?
I'm in a Creative Writing class run by some lady who speaks very poor English. IT's funny, cause most of my work she wasn't able to understand due to her lack of higher-level vocabulary. Anyway, she made us enter this poetry contest online. So knowing that she couldn't understand my work, I typed up a stupid poem title "One Reason [not (they misprinted in they letter i got)] to go to Prison" It like 10 lines about a guy who got beaten up in the shower at a prison, and fogot his soap on a rope. Stupid and took me literly 2 minutes to write.
That was about 2 months ago. Today I get a letter at school telling me that I been selected to appear in the book that is being published. Supposedly most of the entries never get published, and I was one of about 12 from the school (a high school of 3,000 students) who got seletected for the contest.
This just goes to show that in this day and age, some people are too stupid to realize crappy work. Me, the actual "poet" is saying that the work sucks. I nearly cried from laughter when I got the letter, but was happy to find out that since my "work" is being published I am exempt from the final exam in that class. This inciddent actually decreases what little hope I have left in humanity, and it's ability to squat through crap that people give it.
In 10 days I get my poem in the mail, with a form asking if anything needs to be changed. Once I get the actual poem back, I'll post it on Massassi for all to laugh at.
Oh and you can vote for the winner of the contest I think when the book comes out. Might be interesting if I get any votes. Of course I know high school kids will probably like an Irish guy getting beat up in a prison shower, rather than "My First Love", and other annoying titles.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world.
