Commentary
The other morning, while I was driving to work and listening to NPR, I had a bad reaction to some fantasy. An author of children’s books began reading his latest work, and it was too full of names for my liking. In protest–to nobody listening–I blurted out “In the Kingdom of Whoop-de-doo….” Then and there, I knew I had just saddled myself with writing a poem. It has taken several days. How was I going to get myself out of this? With one last night’s sleep, I figured out how to bring it to a swift and merciful end. So here you go.
