I propose another such competition, to be carried out in this thread. The rules for it shall be as follows:
1) All entries must contain some form of the word: fume. Examples of legal variations might include: fumigate, fuming, fumes, fumosity, or fume blanc.
2) You must be the author of the appalling poem you post.
3) The only prize awarded shall be the clamorous disesteem of other ILXors. I am the sole judge and I have no intention of performing any such function.
May the worst poetaster win. Entrants, start your engines.

Scooter is a bad mang.Just listen to his twang,as he says he twiddled thumbs all day, as addled as desk jockeyswell can be. Tee hee."That's me!" he claims.
Scooter is a bad mang.Let's twirl him a few times,Then beat him on the end that ends up up.

One of the bleakest moments in a music fan's day to day life is when those magical transcendent moments are no longer transcendent. You listen to the same 10 second clip of a song over and over again, looking for that little thing in the singer's voice, that change in pitch or whatever it was that made it so amazing, but you just can't find it anymore. You probably end up going to Stylus or the used CD store, or maybe even eBay, looking for the next fix and despairing over your loss of innocence. It's like cumming inside a girl and suddenly realizing that you're no longer in love.

When I was a kid and I had a coldMy mom put a humidifior in my roomand it smelled like mentholatum ruband it spouted steam, like a fumarole.
I liked to look at it a lot becauseit was sort of hypnotic and soothingand did I mention the menthol smell?It was soothing and hypnotic, too.
Whereas now when I have a cold I goto my job like on ordinary 'well' days.My boss doesn't put a soothing, menthol-smelling anything in my cubicle.
I want a cough drop with eucalyptus oil.I want a hypnotic fumarole thingthat spouts steam to look at.It sucks I have a meeting to attend.
NB: A fumarole is a volvanic steam vent.They show up in places like Yellowstoneor near the craters of live volcanoes,but not usually in cubicles like mine.
I bet that meeting sucks a bag of dicks.It will all be so much rigamarole,which rhymes with fumarole, and casseroleand won't be hypnotic enough if you ask me.

Going back to nature in Elmer Fudd's estateShot to cartoon deathbed, an imation bespoiledBy our failure to communicateThe sounds of prideful loathing that connect our lumpen lives a-coiled.
Imation, our belt's undoing,A beautiful quetzal buried under a ton Of elephant dung,Slung from your rump. He winks whilst he's pooing.
Imation, imitation, the image's relationTo burning petrol fumes in a pump attendant's lungs.He sabotaged the gas stationNow he's all burnt, a glorious immolation.
Awake in this slimming nation with a bucket of ironicKFC, we guzzle and galumph a fatty gauntletAll the way to the piggy-bank, moronicAnd crying all the while, "I'm not pwnt yet!"
However, all yea be lost, the lighthouseFlattens its master with a sigh,All the sea-gods rise and stiff-wing flyThey must beseech the rain to douse
Our destiny, imation's call, Pete Sampras' second serveNetfirstserve and WHAM! We're shorn Of limbs, imation's fall, the downward curveThat takes us round the Cape of Horn.
At last to practice martial arts alone, aloof,Be the Christian to a self-same lion.Land head-first to break your neck and see the blessed truth:All it took was I, mat...I, on.
