The exercise:

Def Poetry Jam Friday would like to share Beau Sia's I'm so deep.

Mine:

With an opening line like that, how can you possibly go wrong? Well, okay, it goes wrong, sometimes very wrong indeed, but you know what I mean.

Also, the allusion to GI Joe (that people in the audience didn't seem to catch, sadly) just makes this poem even more awesome. It would only have been more... deeply awesome... if he had name dropped Snake-Eyes.

And the end, which was really the beginning, was the perfect note on which to... begin?

Here, have another dose of Beau Sia magic.
