'make you want to go back to college?' - what, is she twenty-two, good-lookin, a 'free spirit', well you didn't mention that

'should be careful what you say' - being careful might lack appropriate deference to EC's condition of having been born with tongue firmly fixed in cheek? ... anyway it's all been said before, then summed up by Dylan, that's why there's no future in poetry except to finish putting his words to Led Zeppelin tunes

[edit] - armenians, yes there's a point ... turks don't want to face their own history do they ... well who does [note BO isn't releasing Guantánamo back to the cubanos from whom it was stolen, only shutting down the no-habeas-corpus operation] ... but this is serious stuff, no fair ... do you have poet laureates in the US ... we have Stompin Tom Connors i think

Let me try my hand.

Luck is an angel with many disguises.

Merde. Ici nous sommes
I pay the money
Crouched on cold cold porcelain
furrowed brow
every fiber of my being strains peristaltically
I put the comic down to concentrate on my work.
I said 'merde' too soon.
A clap of thunder
A great wind comes
Devoid of substance.
The cannon fired
But the shot forgot
I see now the paper's gone.
Sometimes an ill wind blows good.
