A drinking bet made the other night involved me writing an entire review in verse. "Transformers" seemed a likely candidate, and while still nursing a good buzz, I plunged into it . . .

I think that I shall never say, I liked a film by Michael Bay. His films are stupid, and they're loud, But yet they always draw a crowd. The acting's always utter dreck, And often starring Ben Affleck. His CG's blurry, jokes are crass, Yes, Michael Bay can kiss my . . .

Ooooh, not a good idea. I realized the next morning, no matter how silly or intentionally duff I made the thing, there's no way it would be as silly and duff as an actual Michael Bay movie. Remember, this is the guy who took more of a dissing than anyone in "Team America" except for Kim Jong Il.
