Please Read Before Submitting
1. Honest Effort Honestly Rewarded
We do not want your best efforts
only reflections of our own.
We want to be reassured that we have covered
ontology as well as philology.
We love the feeling of the tape the better to slam
the baseball bat into your crotch, my dear.
Power comes from readership. Therefore power cannot corrupt
because you're already there.
2. The Legend of Wicked John
He is a bad man who makes Stagolee
look like Boy George. Nevertheless
he dies and stands before God who says
"Are you shitting me? go to Hell."
The Devil takes one look at Wicked John
and hands him a torch.
"You so bad, Wicked John, you so bad, too much for me,
go start a Hell of your own
and tell your prospects to read your previous exploits
before submitting their own."
