			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I was searching on Freelancer.com (aka HowtoGetaFreelancer) and found somebody who wanted a writer who was creative, unique, and capable. After a few moments of consideration, I decided that that was indeed me! The requirement was that I had to write about,  in detail and four-eight sentences, <strong>why</strong> and <strong>What</strong> soda was my favorite. The result, was the poem I wrote, <a href="http://www.storyz.org/2010/02/pepsi/">Pepsi</a>, a spoof (though I do really enjoy the original) of  Trees, by Joyce Kilmer.</p>
<p><span id="more-95"></span></p>
<p>At first I thought it was a bright idea. Then I realized, I was ignorantly immature. While ignorance is indeed bliss, that doesn&#8217;t stop it from being a big pain in the rear at the wrong times. I was just about to click delete on my bid and send the failure of the poem I had written to kingdom come, when I got a PM from the person who was looking for my work. He loved the poem (or so I gathered, though he didn&#8217;t say it), and wanted me to start working on the articles he had chosen for me to work on, immediately!</p>
<p>Which shows that if you want a freelancing project, don&#8217;t give your prospective employer any of that cut and paste junk. Invest time in making a quality, creative, well thought out (or just really creative) peice of work, and then submit it. It&#8217;s like blogging. Quality, over quantity.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(to the tune of<em> Trees</em> by Joyce Kilmer)<br />
If I  could only be,<br />
a poem as lovely, as Pepsi.</p>
<p>A drink which makes people&#8217;s backs be bent,<br />
to drink up heavens great essence</p>
<p><span id="more-48"></span></p>
<p>A drink of which even God will pay,<br />
to drink and sip all day by day</p>
<p>A drink in summer time may scare<br />
Away the heat, as if a bear</p>
<p>Which&#8217;s fizziness is heavenly<br />
Whos intimancy lies with gain.</p>
<p>Poems were made, by fools like me,<br />
But only God, can make Pepsi</p>
<p>(you got any poetry spoofs? comment and put them here! I, among others, love a good laugh)</p>
