Jumping the shark, or: “It’s not a tumor!”

A limerick

Across all the dark seas spread a rumor-
Of fierce shark with remarkable tumor;
Sailors knew to raise the alarm
At first sight of the swift-gliding arm,
While the priests aboard laughed at God's humor.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

–Ben Harper (b. 1969)
