Dear Dave,
Thank you for this. It made my day!
You would not believe the huge
number of media contacts who
have taken great offense at this
poem, and demanded that I remove
them from my list(s) forthwith.
Then, when I send them the explanation,
there is complete and total silence.
Hmmmmm.

What are they teaching in high schools
these days? We studied Shakespeare.
Let's see: "Step 21, use ballpoint pen
to sign Form 1040 on last page.
Place ballpoint pen in right (left)
hand, push button with thumb (if you
have one), and commence to put in on
blank line in form of large X. If you
do not know what X looks like, ask your
teacher if he knows."

Kinda like "sound bites," maybe? :)
