Entry: Taki's List Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/takis_list#6687 Post contents: "Poetry is in trouble. It is garbage being written by modernists—stuff that doesn’t rhyme and makes no sense but is considered art." Not true! Here's a little poem I wrote: "A bravo whose name was Gepetto, Had a Renaissance-era stiletto; Whilst list'ning to Callas, He stabbed with much malice A youth reading 'loud the libretto. Sobbed the youngster as he lay dying, Please excuse my unmannerly crying. I can read no more of this opera score, Was Desdemona truthful or lying?" Said the bravo, "I hate to be terse, son, But your health will get rapidly worse, son. Soon you'll reach your end, At which point, my friend, You can ask Signor Verdi in person." Sent at: 2008 07 04
