Dead poets against the war #2 - e.e. cummings

[robinturner]

dubya was born in the land of the free;
his i's were ice, his tongue was fire
he tried to put food on his family;
and fought to make the pie much higher.

dubya is not a revengeful man;
they misunderestimated his toil
our children is learning (as best as her can)
to die in the desert defending his oil.

[chuckles] I was going for an early cummings style, before he got overpuncutated.

I read a nice story about cummings and punctuation. One of his books had been typeset, and he was shown the proof copy. To his horror, he found that a full stop had been typeset as a comma. The crisis was solved by a typesetter who crawled into the press and shaved the tail off the comma.

That story's really funny! *L*
