A Poem About Pushpin vs Poetry
A Poem About Pushpin vs Poetry
If you're curious, google pushpin vs poetry
I write this poem knowingly
And only slightly jokingly
And though some think
There’s little value from kink
Pushpin’s really better than poetry
What the fuck is pushpin asks you?
Beyond Bentham’s foil in 72
And though I google it
And it was covered while I was a student
I really have no fucking clue
It’s simple and dull, like soylent
And claims it’s dull are quite poignant
If it’s really so worthless
And you shouldn’t pick it versus
Poetry, then how do some enjoy it
Those saying it’s worthless are liars
“The pleasure is higher”
They proudly proclaim
But if arsonists did aim
At categorizing pleasures they’d favor them from fires
Well now that this poem
Is drawing to a closin
When I could have been shtupping
Or playing some pushpin
Comparatively, this choice is quite loathsome
Supplement on Hobbes (Wrote this when bored in my poly sci class talking about Hobbes)
Ferocious rebuttals Hobbes critics would cry to him
About his ludicrous leviathan
And though Hobbes would see a need for lots of prison
Based on his loony egoism
He’d have no ability to reply to them
This is actually true, one of my teachers briefly mentioned what pushpin was but didn’t provide a full explanation. Thus, this is not just a gerrymandered rhyme.
