This request was couched in midst of some of the rampant silliness to be found at WP’s ‘Professional Moron’ site ~ in this case, in its latest post, entitled “Animal Form: Great Bureaucratic Books That Never Were.”

“Please Write a Short Poem About Filling Out Forms”
I hate sitting in my dorm
Filling out another form
How can I take the world by storm
When I am shackled to the norm?
I do not mean to you alarm
But think I might do myself harm
If this writer’s-cramping arm
Generates any more smarm
Hoping to be acceptable
Or better yet, delectable
To those who securely hold
With grasp uncaring and cold
All of my potential future
In its bureaucratic suture
I sit, I twitch, I itch, I squirm
I’d rather eat a squishy worm
All slimy, squirmy, live and warm
Than fill out even one more form!
