    “Yes,” said Piglet, “Rabbit’s clever.”

    “And he has Brain.”

    “I commented about free verse and everyone started listing proverbs”

    I just copied the person before me, but what did you mean? What is free verse?

    There’s no such thing as a free verse.

    And the advertising pays for it, so it’s not really free.

    Maybe it’s like fat free or calorie free. One still pays for the verse but with reduced consequences on one’s waistline, in theory.

    Because “There ain’t no such thing as a free lunch” means that there is such a thing as a free lunch, since it negates itself into a positive statement.

    Thus, what RY wants to say here is that there is truly no such thing as a free verse.

    It’s like brain candy for your teeth.

    Are you really confused or just not a fused con?

    Which is okay because who wants to be a con? Especially a fused con.

    You’re perfect as you are.

    How is “the emperor has no clothes” poetry? And if it’s poetry somehow, why can’t the next two posts count as poetry as well?

    It was not poetry. I was talking about free verse.

    Was “The emperor has no clothes” supposed to be a description of free verse? If so, I don’t get it.

    Are you familiar with the story “The Emperor’s New Clothes”?

    Yes of course.

    Everything would’ve been fine had he also worn Harry Potter’s invisibility cloak.

    Yes, but I still don’t get your point. Are you comparing free verse to an emperor who thinks he is wearing clothes but he’s not – meaning the person thinks the free verse is poetry but it’s not?

    During Channukah, does kugel feel left out?
