A Very Stupid Poem for a Stormy Monday Night

Over at Missy's blog, The Incurable Disease of Writing, she has an entry in the "Monday Poetry Train." She used "emuse," an online widget, to "write" a poem. You can read her poem here:

The online widget she used to help her "write" the poem asks for a few inputs (remember those "Mad Libs" from when you were a kid? Something like that but not quite the same) ... and then it generates a poem using the words you have provided. Here is the link to the widget:

And here is the really stupid poem it came up with for my set of words:


mustard box stupefying
puce skies over Calgary again
Don Juan arrives,
Sit about
looking smooth and pretty
the only weird part--that box
stupefying near silence
where zorse awaits
now mustard boxes fade
into puce beginnings
then zorse once more
by Suse
