The woods are lovely, dark, and deep, A place where terrorists could creep, Using trees for cover, on me they’d leap So many trees to fell before I sleep. So many trees to fell before I sleep.

i don't throw this word around lightly, but this is BRILLIANT. i think you have effectively cornered the market on satirical poetry, PoHo. what you did to Frost here is like turning a Van Eyck painting into a Rockwell. Jake

I hadnt taken time to read this, PH...and found it witty, sharp, and well-written. This should be sent somewhere for publication...there ought to be a market somewhere. Now I need to go heal my 'bite wounds' and come back for more. :) Raynette

I can't believe I haven't read this before now. What a corker! You've taken one of my favourite poems and used it to have a very witty go at one of my least favourite things - 10,10, dammit,10!

This lighbulb has worked admirably and has served its purpose well. Why do you hate freedom?

An interesting, clever and funny write; loved the Robert Frost 'tribute'; great job.

What an excellent summary of the message spread by those blood-sucking flim-flam artists at Fox News. This has made my day.
