Top Ten

This week, I have been putting off the blog every time it enters my mind, as I cannot seem to find anything to blog about.  Desperately, I decided to Google a blog idea, and eventually I came across a website called Listverse.  This site displays numerous "top 10" lists regarding topics which I did not even think a list could be made. For example, I found a "Top 10 Steps to a Top 10 List" and "Top 10 People Who Vanished in AirPlanes."  As I sat down an started to search this website, a list called "20 Examples of Why You Should Enjoy Poetry" popped up, an I couldn't help but read it.  Each example is a poem or an excerpt from a poem, that the author of this list deems an excellant choice for persuading people to read poetry.  #18 is even "This is Just to Say" by William Carlos Williams!  However, and although I have limited knowledge regarding vast amounts of poetry, the majority of this list does not encourage me to read these poems and enjoy them.  So,  although I spent 30 minutes looking at useless lists, such as the "Top 10 Bizarre Things Cars Have Been Covered With,"  I condemn myself as I do not have the desire to read a few poems that some person believes are some of the best.
