Wouldn't you use a word to rhyme with "µ"
Something more along the lines of "ew?"

No, he was right. Mu rhymes with true. Mu is the sixteenth letter of the Greek Alphabet.

You didn't rhyme, as it clearly shows;
You have become the target of your own fears and woes.
Is it poetry? Or broken prose?
Does anyone care? Who knows?

It all depends on
How you pronounce the words
And where you come from.

This fact seems to be known by few
µ is, in fact, pronounced as 'Mew.'

According to my dictionary, either way is right.
Although the one that's customary's "myoo" (or so they cite).

I like pants that are big

The Journalist's poems make no sense
he must be increadibly dense.
He could plead insanity for his defence
but I will not accept that pretense.

well, i'd like to post
but there is this ghost
who stalks my bed
or is he in my head?

I cannot think
Becasue this ghost is pink
He hurts my eyes
And he makes me eat flies

It is hard to post
here with this ghost
stalking me
Oh, why must this be

In case you can't tell, i made this up as i went

Again, shut up. Nobody wants to hear your worthless drivel. Anywhere. Ever.

That is all, carry on.



It is true that my poem sucked
but, it is not reality, so it should not be chucked

I do not always speak in truth
Here because, I am know as µ

When I speak of music and rhymes
I just try to go with whatever...rhymes...in time

That may be my fault, but it is my will
I will not fail because, my real name's Bill

Do not yell and scream and squawk
for, if you are to say that reality sucks
then you cannot scream at me
for that is a big part of reality...for me

and that my friend....is all....coughjack@$$cough....I mean....
