Mike!! That is Awesome!  Now I know why I supported you for your Laurel.  I'm so inspired by this I wrote a poem of my own.  Please let me know what you think!  Here it is:

There once was a peer 'round here,
Who penned words self-righteous and drear,
His lines they were weak, his manhood oblique,
All not worth one of my pearly butt cheeks.

> And, now the moment's passed, you roar and leap
> In wanton rage to crush that idle flower?
> Perhaps that is your choice: to trade all this,

> Nor blushing at the anger you employ.
