fr_defenestratoReally, honestly, and truly, it is.
Ask me anything and I shall endeavor to reply in verse. Ask me a trifle, you might get a limerick. Ask me something substantive, the response is likely a sonnet. I'm waiting for a question that requires an edda.
Here's a representative sample from March 2009. The question was, 'How do you introduce yourself to someone you meet for the first time?'
In social situations, I will smile
and shake the person's hand (a solid grip
to demonstrate my grunting manhood) while
his/her name, stealthy, serpentine, will slip
and slither from my brain into the void.
Each meeting is a panic, just contained:
though life is such that one cannot avoid
these things, I'd rather everyone refrained
and forged new friendships medias in res!
But as regards self-presentation, I
bestill my tongue, forgoing to supply
my vitals, save when one elects to press
for them. The formula is static: 'Hi,
I'm Gordon.' 'Jordan?' 'Gordon.' 'Gordon?' 'Yes.'
