You watch too much TV. Fast connections are fine for Google Scoopers and
Cable TV Zombies, but to hang with the P-list boyz you gotta read a few
good books. Ever read a poem, Barb?
Why not?
Start off with something short, like this one by William Carlos
Williams:
so much depends
upon
a red wheel
barrow
glazed with rain
water
beside the white
chickens.
Too easy?
Here's one you might be able to get through if you take your time and
have a little patience with yourself:
A Grammarians Funeral
by Robert Browning
You'll have to read it a few times.
Read it like a Shakespeare soliloquy.
Take your time.
