Contrived? He was 8 years old. Later years, he was questioning that himself and not so happy about it, but at 8? I was delighted he knew the word subtle and if you ever saw a cow chewing its cud, maybe you'd get a kid mind. How embarrassing for you that you called an 8 year old's poem contrived. Oh, and it wasn't his penmanship, that was an adult, who thought it was a great poem and did that for me. Are you kidding me?
I hope the other Anonymous wasn't trying to be a total asshole on purpose. We have enough cowards in this world. As for the penmanship, the adult who did this probably is an awesome, yet flawed guy. ("He said, not so subtly...") ;)
Amazing is an understatement.
ReplyDeleteIs that possible? Of course it is.
DeleteThe phrasing is a bit contrived. Subtle cow? Subtle how? smh ;)
