Poetry for a New Day
Our ultra-literate readers will remember William Carlos Williams's poem:
This is Just to Say
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
Well, a fellow on Twitter who uses the "handle" Chaosprime has rewritten it for us:
This is Just to Say
i have stolen
the presidency
which
you probably wanted
to go
to someone qualified
forgive me
i am so rich
and so white
