[B]As in, excellent, but only you could spew forth such scintillating crapNo, I'm kidding. I really liked it.... I just couldn't be bothered to criticise constructively so I tried to say a few words with impact. I failed miserably
I'll have you know that it was my own rather splendid, smart and ironic attempt at highlighting the pervading dreariness of the majority of the poems posted in this forum...Hoo-hoo, look at me on my snooty, ironic perch.
Please Note: Any attempts at explaining 'irony', or indeed self-conciously referring to one's own works as 'ironic' immediately negates the irony due to the erosion of the innate subtlness that the term/style/state of being demands. Unless, of course the actual explanation or self-reference is also ironic. This is similar to the effect of calculating the difference of two negative numbers, eg. -1-(-1) = 0. However, when attempting such an audacious feat, the person must be aware of not over-doing the 'ironic' explanation as this will also result in a negation of the irony. Personally, I find that 111 words - not including numbers - is suffice. Anything over that amount is a little sour.

No. Life is fun for a myriad of plethoric reasons, but arguing against facts is not one of them. The poll states the truth. It can not be contradicted.
They are hardly facts, just the opinion of of a few... 😬
and of course life is fun for a number of reasons, but my point is one arguing; not against facts because that is just stupid but against people who think they are better then everyone else...

They are cold, hard facts. Jesus' dad actually smite the truth in stone, in-case anyone tried to argue any different.

Your English is excellent. How long have you been studying it as a second language?

It doesn't state the complete truth however, since not all the options were explored.
The poll was the pollsonification(my word...) of clarity. It pondered 'What's Your Most Favorite Game/Thread In The World Ever?'. The options were made available and you, the people, voted. So, it was the hole truth, the fool truth and nothing butter the truth, so help me Ou Be.
Salted and Mist/Missed...
In the vessel, tall, then wide
Brittle at neck, velvet inside,
Between the bergs of mice, not men
Is the bounty for us and them.
The murky glory of not-so-clear,
Distilled and ready to disappear...
First a sip, a taste, not quenched,
Thirst a feel of recompense...
The slither of citrus, so vital and near,
Bonded with the spirit of Agave from there,
Into my body, my mouth, my dear!
Care to guess the muse?

Excellent. Your acquiescence is accepted and the bells have be rung accordingly.
Could your muse be alcohol maybe??
Indeed it is, but the mystery is which beverage? The truth lies within...
