Wow, you're almost another Alan Ginsberg, who wrote a poem called
"Howl". With those skills, I suggest you write a poem about our great
heroes, Rush Limbaugh, Newt Gingrich, and Ken Star- the guiding lights
of American civilization, leading us into the new century of a 2 class
system, the very rich and the very poor- the way it ought to be-
somebody to sit on the verandahs drinking mint julep and somebody to
deliver it, while the work is done by other nations.
