Grumpy..

I think You are Terrific..So Very Specific
About What You Do and Don’t Appreciate..
You are very Effectual..as a Pure Intellectual
And your Favorite Composers are Great..

I Never Read War & Peace..Or been off to Greece
And Plato is some Planet Out in Space..
But when I Escape the World Disorder..
and Come Find my “Stimilus” at No Quarter..

I am So Glad to see Old Grumpy Guys face..!!

Do you think it’s possible Penn said “elephant”? Nah, we know what he thinks of Republicans.

Ok lark, I’ll try to cultivate some ignorance. But it won’t be easy.

My breadth of arcane knowledge

That’s the problem with presidents that are like you would be. The know too much of the past and that’s everything they know. Presidents like that are worthless. You would be one.

To be a worthwhile president you need to toss your knowledge aside. You need to know the future. You need to know what you don’t know. You need to know what children know, what priest know, what poets know.

Since by your poem it is clear you don’t know poetry, then obviously you would make a lousy president.

Now let me begin you with some training in case you want to become a president. Answer this question:

What is the most important thing children age 5 today would need to have when at 18 they begin their descent into adulthood?

So the presidency is not about you, is about them.

Awwwwwwww……….

More, please.

We desperately need this kind of fun distraction, especially on a night when American TV is wall-to-wall messiah mania coverage.

I’m watching the 2012 doomsday predictions, myself.
