"Roses are red / Tom Sloane is poo..."

"Jane's Addition" turns eleven today. The final episode of Daria's third season on MTV, "Jane's Addition" introduced us to Tom Sloane, our favorite well-beaten dead horse, and it marked the end of the Daria/Trent thing, which saved Trent from incarceration.

Today is also National Bad Poetry Day in the USA, and if there's one thing we know, it's how to write bad poetry. In honor of this day, and in honor of "Jane's Addition," you are urged to write a Really Bad Poem about Tom Sloane. When I say bad, I mean it has to suck the reader right out of the chair and into the monitor. Put your contribution in the Comments section for everyone to read and enjoy (or not).

  2. He stands before us:
    brown hair,
    neatly mussed;
    pants and shirt,
    casually rumpled;
    eyes,
    sparkling, pale pools.
    As it should be,
    he is for her.
    But I know that
    one day soon
    enough he'll be
    all
    mine.

  3. I am a fire
    blazing, heating
    the area
    around me. I
    bring peace
    and contentment
    to the people near
    enough to feel my
    warmth. Occasionally
    I pop and spark and
    excite
    the one hit by
    red hot ash and
    she's drawn me
    better than I
    am.

  4. There once was a boy named Tom
    Whose face made me want to vom
    He cheated on Jane
    And I'm part to blame
    Then I dropped his ass like a bomb.
