Post Not Found Poetry Competition
You could win minor celebrity status by writing a "Post not found" poem, for my blog's error section.
The rules:
1. All entries must be 100 words or less
2. All entries must get across the following
- The blog post you are looking for cannot be found
- You might be able to find it if you log in, but not necessarily
3. Entries must not contain profanity. For a list of alternatives see a list of alternatives.
4. I reserve the right to add rules, when I feel like it.
The best poems will be displayed on rotation to unlucky surfers who stumble into Post Not Found hell.
Closing date: Extended to 6th April 2010.
Best effort so far:
Alas that which you seek,
Is nowhere here of which to speak.
Deleted may it have been,
Or never created to be seen.
Perhaps if thou became a member,
Or thy password thou couldst remember,
Thou mightst be more lucked,
But right now you're truly[Error 408: Request Timeout]

You were hoping to find a juicy post,
When you sent a request to this host,
Stop whining,
And go sign in,
If not, your intentions are toast.
Silly old Parrot! Don't you know,
There's no such thing as a the page below.
[Insert name of page.]
On you should go through the deep dark wood.
Login if you can, logging in would be good.
This post,my dear,does not exist,
You've looked for hours,
You must desist,
The link is broken,
Leads nowhere,
I'm sure you're teraing out your hair.
Three hours online is bad enough,
Without sifting through all this stuff,
Search engines just fill you with scorn,
Give up already and settle for porn.
The post of your desires has eluded you.
It's a shame, you may have been good together.
Find another post to pursue.
Or lonely thou shallst be forever and ever.
Love,
Love changes everything:
Hands and faces,
Earth and sky,
Love,
Love changes everything:
Except blog posts
In short supply.
Nothing in the
World will ever
Find that name.
(Accept logging in, which may help.)
Yer doofus!
What an address!
I've heard some lousy URLs in my time,
But that one really is the slime.
