Subject: RE: BS: Poets-Average lifespan 62 years
I wish I could remember who it was who said that poets are people who muddy their waters in order to make them appear deep.
I believe it was Garrison Keillor who said:
We've got trouble
Right here in River City
That starts with T
And that rhymes with P
And that stands for POETRY
Ahem...
Higgledy Piggledy
Hector the Poet was
Lecturing students on
Using word-play
"Hexasylabical
Words are your friends:
Double Dactyls are tools
You should use every day"
( ...that one's for you, Mole)
