Ellen Oh's First VLOG Ever! and dare...

The dare - Write a ridiculously bad poem and videotape yourself reciting it.
The foolish one - Ellen Oh aka Ello aka Speakswithbadcold
Unfortunately, this video transmission will NOT self-destruct in five seconds...




The poem - a really really bad burrito poem repeated here for your endless amusement:

I love you, she said,
with tears in her eyes.
But we can't be together,
we must say our goodbyes.

How can you do this?
he cried in agony and pain.
How can you leave me
standing in the rain?

You said that you'd love me forever,
but it was all untrue
All it took was one burrito.
What's a man to do?

Should I have gone to the bathroom?
Should I have held it in?
Was it really so bad?
Was it such a big sin?

She nodded quite sadly
as she said with a sigh.
It's pretty bad,
I nearly died!

My mascara has run
and my nose is still burning.
My contacts have melted,
and my stomach's still turning.

We can't be together,
this much is true.
You fart like an elephant.
You stink like a zoo.

With that she turned away
and quickly departed.
Leaving the boy and his burrito
completely brokenhearted.

Duh End

  6. HAAAA! That was so funny. I don't know that I'd say it was "ridiculously" bad. I think it was actually quite clever. Plus, you and your cold were "ridiculously" cute so it makes up for any shortcomings in the poem. :) Hope you're feeling better.

  7. Oh, poor burrito boy! And all he was probably trying to say was, "I feel comfortable being myself around you." ;)
