Opening up my favorite local weekly newspaper (The Weekly Reader for Old Kids of The New Millennium?) and directing myself to my favorite page in the tree by-product based entertainment source only to find that it has been taken over by what inspired all this stuff that follows (below) =).

You may--or may not--have read the "poem" that occupied the entire "Letters to The Editor" section of this week's Oklahoma Gazette. I think that the author is a Carl Sandburg fan who also really likes that Roadside Oddity currently occupying the space next to The Devon Tower. It would be unfair to C&P that author's Tribute to Erato and Whatnot (plus I can't even figure out how to insert a link to this artistic masterpiece in its entirely).

So, pick up a copy of this week's Gazette. They are free and available all over the place in order to put what follows in proper perspective.

as i was walking near downtown
i saw a man wearing a frown.
i asked him what the matter was
he looked at me said, "listen, Cuz'
"chief among my major bummers:
"i no longer see The Mummers;
"its gerbil glory's gone from sight;
"i gotta say that just ain't right!."

the lot was primal nature's renter
i asked: "the eyesore called Stage Center?"

(note: total time invested: 30 min. . . . tops.=)im responding to you in very small font size and top of that, I'm not using poetic justice to backup my claims of mechanical reproduction(which just so happens to be a pet peeve of mine). . . no!. . . I'm creating a pet peeve and a rather uncharitable situation for you and others to have to squint to read this. Me laughing at this is about as likely as you and Torea riding a train to Britain to celebrate the birth of the train and it's horn(disclaimer here at all you need to know about train horns: Train horn - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Train_horn)). Cheerio ol chap! :)

Pet Peeve: Nit-Pickers.
(i think you meant "poetic LICENSE" in the second phrase of the first sentence. =)
Edited to add the quotation mark after LICENSE in the sentence, above.
