Fundraiser!

by Will Wilkinson on November 1, 2004

Well, Andrew Sullivan ain’t got nothin’ on me. So far I’ve raised approximately $150! Thanks y’all. Every cent is deeply appreciated. But I know we can do better! Readers LIKE YOU keep blogs like The Fly Bottle on the air. And we’ve got only $100 to meet our goal. I know you want a Fly Bottle-rich November, full of comedy, high-drama, and, HEY! Don’t forget the Three Tenors! If you call in with a donation of two dollars or more for the next 4 days — now listen, this is a LIMITED OFFER — you will receive a unique ONE-OF-A-KIND limerick, haiku, villanelle, sestina, sonnet, couplet, rondeau or other form of improvised poem by Will Wilkinson! Request a subject! Interested in buggery? Death? Imperialism? For a donation of $2, the cost of a cup of overpriced coffee, you can have your very own, never-before-seen poem on the subject of your choice. Already donated? No problem, add two dollars to your donation and receive deep, personalized aesthetic gratification in return. NOT TO MENTION A BLOGORIFIC NOVEMBER LIKE NO OTHER! This offer is too good to pass up. Act now! Hit the Amazon or Pay Pal button to your left, or send a check or money order to 934 Westminster St NW, Washington DC 20001.

We can do it!

    Good Lord, man!
    Villanelles?!?
    That's just indecent....
  • Luca Brasi
    Maybe... but just for a day or two. You have given me many fine entries to read, so I couldn't stay mad at you.
  • You will think ill of me?
  • Luca Brasi
    I'm going to hold you to that. So if I don't get my poem by Thursday, I will... well shit. I'll think of something.
  • Luca, Let's say by Thursday.
  • Mike
    Will,

    Done deal. I threw in a little extra. I have to say, if there is such a thing as a "public good", supporting your web page is probably more important than voting.
  • Luca Brasi
    When can I expect my poem?
  • I'm hoping to get a haiku about boobies for my $5.
  • Luca, So it shall be.
  • Mike, Death, Buggery, and Imperialism can easily be done. Show me the money!
  • Luca Brasi
    I just donated $15. I want a poem about how much Halo 2 is going to fucking rule.
  • Mike
    If I donate $6 can you write one poem about death, buggery, and imperialism?
