MAKING THE CUT?
Make the cut? Are you one of those poets who go through the newspaper cutting out letters, then pasting them together? I’ve gotten notes like that before. One of them said:
Your rhyme’s a crime,
you can’t keep time,
you ain’t sublime,
you tub of slime.
Just keep it up,
and we shall sup,
from your skull cup,
ya ruddy twp!
Well, naturally, this made me somewhat nervous so I gave the letter to the police along with the envelope. The FBI finally traced it down to my mother, so I didn’t press charges.
Just kidding!
