Irony
is sarcasm's older obnoxious brother.
OK love is wonderful
show me one specific thing to prove it.
One hand clapping
is another name for wanking.
A stiffly worded poem
is a gun that fires blanks.
Sincerity
is the lowest form of wit.
If you don't know what it's about
I don't have a fucking clue.
I already know life is shit
thank you.
When you cannot write with rhyme and metre
you cannot write without them either.
As music is the silence between notes
so poetry is the infinite space between words.
Why use one word
when none would do the same job?

I did laugh, though. At both of them... Mainly because I recognised a few things I've done/do!

brilliant. this one made me laugh the most:
"I already know life is shit
thank you."
In the past I made a choice to not 'do' (as in read or write) poetry, not because of metre, rhyme and all the rest, but because I reckoned I wasn't suicidal enough.
