been reading blogs

been reading blogs
now that i have one

when i started writing these words
zapping them to the web
for any computer savy stranger
to see
i only could poke fun
at the name

sounding like the name
of a b-movie monster
blog, a particularly gross
sounding fart
a code word in some silly club
b.l.o.g. - boys love oogling girls
how could you make something
sound sillier

it turns out
a good name is not needed
for the blogs that are out there
are a mishmash of words
that rarely result in anything
they remind me of half finished sentences
of abandoned cars in a yard
without the glamor
the many i saw offer nothing

and so i leave it at that
writing poems which i post
trying to avoid the word blog
