my assignment: mock spoken word poem

pending of chris' completion of his own assignment, here's another idea to work on :)
write a mock spoken word poem. guildelines included but not required or limited to:
a spoken-wordish rhythm
overtly sexual metaphors or references
overtly sexual metaphors or references related to nature
some kind of liberal agenda or point (this could be taking the opposite political direction in your mock poem)
some description of how big your dreams/mouth/etc are

again, these are just ideas for your mock spoken word poem. i guess the key is that it can be read like a spoken word piece.

ah, the spoken word at last!

i like that we're doing a parody - that takes away a lot of the ego strain.

nice, nice, looking forward to this, but just one question, would it be possible to make this project less linear....

I am imagining something more like this:
(http://www.learningtoloveyoumore.com/index.php) where any one of us could post assignments at will, and respond to the assignments only when we have something inspired as a reply. We wouldn't have to worry about posting assignments before everyone is done or rushing to write a response and writing a half-baked poem as I just did and erased. Thoughts?
