> In the RinkChat recently, Sam asked for a six-line poem about the Filmmaker's Exam that doesn't really reference to it (yeah, he used reference as a verb). I said that it would be hard to do that, and he said that, no, it would be easy, because most poetry is filled with similes and metaphors and nature and such. So I made one up and told it to him, and he liked it but said it's not what he was looking for. So, I'm sharing it and a few others with you all today.
