         PWoF 2016 - Topic 10 - Oct. 1
         
        Standard instructions:
       

         You should attempt to write a poem inspired by this topic -- not a derivative, literal
         interpretation of the topic.   Create a poem that reflects your own true self.
         
         --> Since the officious rules of PWoF 2016 stipulate that you can submit more than
         one poem; may I suggest, if the fit strikes you, that you include, after your major work,
         a second poem consisting of a bit of transient doggerel, a limerick, or a trenchant
         end-rhyming nonsense poem that somehow reflects the intention of this topic.
         
         (And for anyone who's a bit uncertain about starting out here: Ignore my bullshite and
         just string some words together (that's what everybody else is doing ).  
       

        Topic 10:

        As a fitting end to WPoF 2016, this last topic will plunge us deep into the
        very soul of what we, oft-times ironically, call writing.  Namely: Play.  
       
        Poetry couldn't properly be called poetry without doggerel, limericks, senryu,
        nonsense poetry, parody of respectable forms and authors, and other types
        too obscene to mention.
       
        So, Topic 10:
        Write one of those things listed above or anything else your creative,
        playful mind might construct.
       



        --> And, on the occasion of this ending*, let me assure you that I and all
        the other members of the PWMoC [Pigpen Wright Ministry of Culture] have
        found this enjoyable, amusing, and sometimes downright hard -- especially
        the damn thing where you couldn't use "e".
       
        * Only the ending of the daily posted topics. Everyone, myself very much
        included, remains (as the officious rules clearly state) utterly free to continue
        participating until after their death.
       

        And, should the fit strike you, here are some examples:
       

        The site below, being slothfully ugly, badly organized, hopelessly incomplete,
        and self-delusionally named; seemed to perfectly fit our topic:
