First, I will post the overall rules, and then I will post the specifics about this week.
Original rules, as stated by Ubertuna:
It must fit the week's theme. It must be submitted by the deadline. It cannot have inappropriate language in it. It cannot be stolen (if you plagiarize, we will find you).
Also:
The poem must be created for this contest A user cannot win two weeks in a row (though everyone is welcome to submit every week!) Only one submission per user will be accepted
As we all know, the winner will recieve a merit, and their poem will be featured on the _Poetry_ page.
OK, on to this week's topic...Again, we are having a style instead of a theme. Also, this week we are having TWO WEEKS to do it, instead of the usual one. Why? Because this will be an EPIC poem. Or, rather, a parody of an epic poem. Generally, epic poetry is very long, and tells the serious story of a heroic figure. Well, this week, the epic figure is YOU! Write a long poem (I'll leave the definition of 'long' up to you, but give it a good go) about the heroic story of you! It can be silly, serious, whatever... just have fun with it. You have two weeks, so have a great time!
Its time I wrote up a poem here. Heh, keep in mind though that I'm not so great with the "fun" poems. Mine tend to be more serious. I really hate rhyming poems, and for a topic like this, its hard to be serious...Blagh ____________________________________
What a prison I see. The crime committed was turning 3.
I have learned to add and subtract, apparently its another secret of life.
What authority do you have over me?
No threat will be used against me. My life is not of your control. Why must you make me read? English is just not me. I am here to learn, not to feel guilt of refusing the unnecessary.
I refuse to worship such evil. Let me rot in a hell hole if thats what it takes, just don't put me with the devil's advocates.

Oh well, I tried. I'll just have to wait for next week's topic.
gman1000, your poem is good, but it doesn't have a real feel to it. Things just seem to pop up everywhere, I like poems where it always follows a single beat, know what I mean?
I'm not saying I didn't like yours, it's better then anything I could have done.
Wash my hands first! Get out the dough and roll it out.. Chop chop chop... Spread on the sauce... Slice slice... Add some of these... And a little of this... Into the oven! Next dish! Bubble bubble... MMMMMMmmmm....that smells delicious! Sprinkle on some of that over there... Just a touch of this here... BEEP BEEP! Oh, it's ready! Ahhhh, look at that! Am I all done for today? Looks like I better bring out the food.... Here you are children, take a bite! ... You call this good? I'm allergic to that... Can I have more? This isn't how my mommy makes it... What is that!? Gimme some more! Yuck! This is gross! I want more milk! ... I can't take it anymore! I quit!
I know it is a little abstract, but that was what I was aiming for.
