The Solution to Global Warming

[_Doctor Steuss]

Ovid and Ryokan... yet two more I have never heard of nor read. It is times like this I lament not getting a college degree, yet at the same time am greatful that I'm still young enough to learn.

I was refering to your Nash post, but here's one that makes me snicker:

That's the kind of thing that's being done all the time by poets, from Homer to Tennyson;
They're always comparing ladies to lilies and veal to venison.
And they always say things like that the snow is a white blanket after a winter storm.
Oh it is, is it, all right then, you sleep under a six-inch blanket of snow and I'll sleep under a half-inch blanket of unpoetical blanket material and we'll see which one keeps warm,
And after that maybe you'll begin to comprehend dimly
What I mean by too much metaphor and simile.
It's all right there: Nash's irreverence, his delayed

Who needs a university when we have the internet? ;)

Oh! Duh!

There are quite a few that are making me snicker!

I like this one (although my ex-husbands might disagree!;)


Always Marry An April Girl

Praise the spells and bless the charms,
I found April in my arms.
April golden, April cloudy,
Gracious, cruel, tender, rowdy;
April soft in flowered languor,
April cold with sudden anger,
Ever changing, ever true --
I love April, I love you.

You must have a bit more room across the chest to get all that on a T-Shirt...*ducks*

Yeah, I though about getting a shirt like that...

Mine's just big enough to fit 'Tosser' on it...
...that works for me...

by the way - I'm loving the poetry... (Don't let my use of the word 'Tosser' detract from my appreciation of it!)

I think this t-shirt design is perfection for a few posters in this thread. Excluding myself, of course.
