National Poetry Month Raises Awareness Of
Poetry Prevention
NEW YORK—This month marks the 10th National Poetry Month, a campaign created in 1996 to raise public awareness of the growing problem of poetry. "We must stop this scourge before more lives are exposed to poetry," said Dr. John Nieman of the American Poetry Prevention Society at a Monday fundraising luncheon. "It doesn't just affect women. Young people, particularly morose high-school and college students, are very susceptible to this terrible affliction. It is imperative that we eradicate poetry now, before more rainy afternoons are lost to it." Nieman said some early signs of poetry infection include increased self-absorption and tea consumption.

Heh.
This is funny, but sad, and moreso terrifying.
The lights are going out.
Dark ages loom.

Tra la la.....?

Hey, shamatha - i never would've found that article and thank you for bringing me a laugh! I needed that. Amazing what some people come up with and even more amazing is those 'some people' get quoted!

but i think he's right - i've never know a poet that wasn't a problem to society... but then again, i'm a problem to society and i don't personally know many poets... as a matter of fact i do not hang with any poets at all.. unless one were to include buddhabitch, but that is another hang all together ...
