Tuesday, August 24, 2004 I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (About Not Being Able to Get Pussy) Poems Written by the Socially Inept are the Sweetest, Most Bitter The 2004 Withered Peck Poetry Conference took place over the weekend of August 21-22 at the Seattle Convention Center, bringing together scores of the most acclaimed socially inept poets from around the world. The purpose of the conference, however, was not so much to celebrate poetry as it was to offer the participants a distraction from the staggering unpleasantness of their failed daily lives. That is not to say that there was no poetry present at the conference. In fact, the hosts of the conference have been gracious enough to give SociallyInept.com exclusive first-publishing rights to the following select set of poems worthy enough to receive the 2004 Withered Peck Cup of Excellence. With their notoriously short attention spans, most of the poets' submissions were quite brief; but that in no way diminished the genius evident in each winning entry.
