Just a Bunch of Crazy Poets

Hey there Bill Gates, could you throw me a bone

Just a cool million or so, then I’d leave you alone,

I’d open a coffee house, with many poetic features

Where bards could declaim like radical preachers

I’d serve all sorts coffees, tasty teas and fare,

Poets young and old would gladly gather there

To fellowship, learn and impart their knowledge,

It would be far more amusing than any college.

I dream of such things, that are sweet as honey,

Now if only someone would lend me the money.

IN a perfect world, coming together and the sharing of the gifts of art would be more important then football games. 'til the world wakes to its own folly and this provokes positive behavior, at Bill Gates seeks to feed the starving and all the hungry souls will continue to weep.

Peace & Light,

I don't suppose you'd have a position there for an out of work but highly skilled cook/poet?

It's a wonderful dream, dear and a fitting tribute for an AP anniversary. Best of luck in the contest.

Love Margaret
