Kirstin Does William Carlos Williams

Okay, so this was Kirstin’s last comment and of course you could go read it for yourself, but I am worried that you might miss it, so yes, I am making a post out of a comment. (A silk purse out of a sow’s ear?). This is too brilliant to miss.

This is just to say

I took your cat
which was wandering the streets at night
and which you probably wanted to snuggle with
when you returned from work

Forgive me
It looked so soft and warm
and I was so far from home, and hungry.

William’s original (in case you were wondering!):

This Is Just to Say

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox

and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast

Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

Thanks!
My friend Wayne wrote one too about Bernie Madoff:
This is just to say

I took your last million
Yes, I said I could double it for you
and you did get some of it back

Forgive me
You had so much
and it really did make me happier than it did you.

It’s so much fun to mess with the Masters.
