I was surfing the net and saw an ad saying I can win money if I enter a poem at poetry.com, so I thought up a poem off the top of my head.  They thought it was good enough to include it in a book called Eternal Portraits, an audio album called The Sound of Poetry, and it got an Editor's choice award, which only 33 people get.  So far I haven't won any money though, and admittedly, I shelled out 25 paper gods just to see my poem in a book.  Maybe it'll win money in one of these contests they're running me through, and I'll be a happy schmuck.  The poem is called

Contrarywise

Eris holds me in her hand,
While vampires gape at Wonderland,
Heaven or H*** or purgatory,
Says the Devil God with the pyramid story,
In paradox, an anxious solace,
Here in Heaven's Devil's palace.

Thank ya.  Thank ya very much.

If angels could read that poem, they would die.

Thank you, thank you.  ::sniffs and wipes away the tears::  Now look.  I've gone and blemished myself.  If you'll excuse me, I need to repaint my mascera.  At least the shirt's already black.
