Poem Of The Day
From Lyle, one of Tim Blair’s brilliantly witty commenters:
How I Became an American:
A Former San Franciscan
Describes His Decline and FallMy pickup truck has mudflaps
And I wear hunting plaid;
It wasn’t always like this –
Here’s how I turned out bad:I was a social worker
Who dated teenage boys
And dismissed Country music
As just a lot of noise.Then one fine day it happened,
I felt my id collapse
When Starbucks said they wouldn’t
Stock avocado wraps.Right then my heart turned bitter
And learned a cruel lesson;
I turned to Bible classes
And my Smith & Wesson.What if Obama loses?
I’l be so bitter that
I just might move to Houston
And buy a cowboy hat.

Thanks for the recognition, Prof. Glad you liked it.
I ought to mention, it’s not autobiographical.
