"There's not much doubt in any of our minds that no complete idea springs fully formed from our brow,
needing only a handshake and a signature on the contract to send it off into the world to make twenty-five billion dollars.
The germ of the idea grows slowly..." - Walt Kelly

One-man wrecking crew

Sometimes peer pressure is nice. 

Sometimes it drives you to use your brain for new (old) things. 

National Poetry Writing Month, take 14.

Please, step back - this area is unsafe
for any who suffer from even the most basic
lack of imagination. 

We've judiciously applied caution tape
and all manner of hi-vis paraphernalia
to adequately broadcast this. 

Bricks and drywall are no match
for a breach of this description - 
instead we delve straight to the source. 

You, there, sir! Are you the author?
Are you responsible for this
egregious, and frankly, unnecessary

deviation 
        in 
                style?

Please don't resist, trust our expertise - 
we've dealt with your kind before. 
You're too dangerous to continue. 

The public must be warned; containment
is a wasted effort at this point. 
Three walls will just have to do.
