I've tried so hard
to fit myself into the slot machine
but my penny is bent.

Someone offers
to lend me their penny
but
I
refuse.

I search
for a bent machine.

wow...where did you think of this? Things others would never have noticed.

Posted By: purr_verse Jun 24, 2003 - 03:55 am

Good gods! thank you all. I've been AWOL for a little while...

I wrote this originally just as a thought process while in a very dull lecture at uni. I later rearranged it into a poem for my Writing class because I needed something to submit. It's probably the most popular thing I've ever written...more people identified with it than I really expected.

But thank you all very much - it is certainly appreciated.

Speechless, completely speechless. I laughed enough to attract those odd shut your trap looks from everyone in the room. Thanks for quality.

This is wonderful. You should submit it somewhere.

It's something that I don't really identify with. I'm not even a penny much less a bent one. I need to find a vending maching that accepts water buffalos or something like that. jk.

I like this poem. I find that it tells me rather than trying to fit into everyone else's idea of what you should be, you should make everyone else accept who you are.
