What really bugs me is that this would be true EVEN IF WE IGNORED THE CONTENT.

For fuck's sake, I was better at poetry than that in third grade, and I'm not a poet.

Yes, if memory serves it's about at the level of the ryhmes spun by the stupider kids in my second grade class (such as the ever popular "me chinese/me no dumb/me make gum/stick my finger up my" you guess the rest). Truthfully, I prefer it when the aesthetic quality of this stuff is as poor as the actual intellectual content.

Actually, I was up late last night trying to figure out which was worse.

...But remember, the speaker of the poem is supposed to be a stupid, uneducated immigrant, so all aspects are meant to
insult people who are not good Americans (like my mother...)

Lady Shea---Sorry but I couldn't easily find those stats again. I'll keep trying...

AquaVita, your poem was the first funny thing I've seen today..maybe you should start making 'rebuttal' poems for people to use to send back to the people that sent the offending ones?
