Blind Date
I couldn't leave the last post with "Roses are red..." hanging in the air, so I went to the online poetry pages at The Atlantic and found this one from the April issue. I remember reading it at the time and thinking it wasn't quite like any blind date I'd been on. Though I have come away scratching my head a few times, for altogether different reasons. 

Dear Mr. G.W. Bush / Re: Your recent submission

In my post about the First Lady being charmed by M. Chirac (right), I mentioned her husband's, uh, "poetry." You know, "Roses are red/ Violets are blue/ Oh my, lump in the bed/ How I've missed you..." Well, The Missouri Review published a literary critique of the President's oeuvre (or should I say oeuf). It's pretty funny.
