That was fun - just like William Burroughs (minus the horror and homoeroticism). Or maybe it's more like spam trying to sneak through mail filters. It also shows that I don't keep my books in any sort of order.

That if you know that I know
How to say it 'correctly'
(The exact meaning of which
I have not yet learned)
Then I am entitled to say it
All incorrectly
Which once in a rare while
Will make you laugh.
And I love you so much
Whenever you laugh.
But I haven't learned yet
What love may be
But love to love
And love being loved
And that is a whole lot
Of unlearnednes."
