every day i take a look at the Poem-A-Day from The Acadamy of American Poets that arrives in my email inbox because, well, it’s usually something I can laugh about if I’m in that sort of mood.

most of these poems are, of course, pale drivel. but, every now and then a real gem like this one shows up.

      no foolin!!! but I’m still not giving any money to The Academy (they were trying to raise 50k or something like that to keep “the poems coming”). :)

  6. Rauan Klassnik

      Their web developer should be fired.

  8. Rauan Klassnik

      they should all be lined up and shot (just kidding!) (sigh)

      50k to keep the poems coming. $100 for the web developer. Or maybe he/she is working Pro Bono. because it’s “Poetry” you know.

      I keep waiting for The Academy to call… I told them they could call me collect. Anytime. I told them to use the code words: “Michael Jordan.” I don’t go out at all. They could call me anytime.
