Eat your heart out, Mr. Chappell
The incredible jw decided to show off her poetry chops with a "Week in Review." (She said I could post it if I corrected the errors, so if there are errors in it, they're mine. She also told me to apologize to Mr. Sun for her, but I don't have that in me.)
"This paper is too liberal,"
Declared the vilified.
"'bout race it rails
Cares only for sales
And is on Kerry's side."
The Leaker was the story
We did not know the name
It was kept quiet
The mayor didn't buy it.
And got 15 more minutes of fame.
Council said we are not guilty
They'd prove it with a 'graph
They passed, they said,
And then played dead.
We all had really good laugh.
It couldn't get much weirder
Then Minutemen came to town
They dragged their feet
Finding a place to meet
Now they all are KKK bound.
And Hoggard said I'm sorry.
A little hard to believe.
Said he'd beg like a man
Just to talk to Dianne.
Wonder what HE'S got up his sleeve?
So if you find this place Greensboring
Just hang out for a while
City service is great
And the parks are first rate
Local government will make you smile.
OK, perhaps Fred Chappell has nothing to worry about, but jw's poem made me smile.

I think you have found a new weekly feature for the paper. (links are critical, though - maybe online then)
I know for a fact that JW ain't cheap, but she can be had.

Wrong, Hoggard. I am indeed cheap!
To Fred Chappell:
I'm sorry. Really, really sorry!

I knew sooner or later we'd get JW to pen some verse. Anyone who loves poetry as much as JW loves poetry can't help but dip the pen in the well.
And JW., I think Fred Chappell is probably entertained by your verse, I know I was.

And I SHOULD have said, "Apologies to Blogsboro's poet laureate, Billy!"

No apologies necessary.
