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.

      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.
