Prose

A poem that doesn't make any sense.

Example of a prose: hire a candle to make tables that wear plaid shirts. The candles look like bandaids, and the watermelons will be pleased.

prose-yak

Poorly-written, non-lyrical poetry -- which you should never listen to while driving, or operating heavy machinery.

prose before hos

prose and cons

Refers to the overall subject of the "entertaining 'n' informative" written material authored by deceitful shysters in an attempt to trick us into trusting them.
