Funny first line

Funny first line

This is the poem in a nutshell but it works off of your assumptions as to what that line means

Cementing this poem as not one that sounds nice

But as one that solidifies our sense of shared understanding

As to how the world really works

And how we choose to talk about it makes us better than other people

Because we understand the joke

Inspirational first line

This is a poem that aims to leave you going oh my god

Even if you’re an atheist

A poem built on a background of mmms and awws and clicked fingers

Because to applaud would mean you’re missing something

Perhaps a profound statement that will change your life for all of five minutes

Before you go back to being shaped by your family and your friends

Or your lack of them

Expositional first line

This line explains important information that could not be worked into the poem in any other way

It is clunky but because it is the first line you’ve forgotten by the time the poem is in its stride

Like a lover who never had the time to learn about foreplay

And practised punch lines hunched over a keyboard

When they should have been in the park looking at nature or some shit

First line that is also the title

This is the strong start that just couldn’t wait

For any of the important stuff in the middle part

And the last line is just what you used the first time

The funny first line
