Big, Bold and Brave

Big, Bold and Brave

To my wife have been her brilliant slave
So wrote something big, bold and brave.

Here it is.

Democrats send an email cute and clever
Saying needed my poems more than ever
Have new state governor who seems kind
Me as county poet laureate he assigned.

Poet laureate is in each county in state
Incredible idea that to us sounds great
Around libraries Governor likes to hover
We heard he has become a poetry lover.

What he does want for a grand finale'
Is for each county to have a poetry rally
At senior centers and desperately needed
There to hear poems supporters stampeded.

We will read poems at centers each week
Even if weather may be cold or bleak
And what we are leading up to know
You should listen to our poems somehow.

Me and my beautiful wife are well agreed
Job reading poems is exactly what I need
Something else that to me sounds great
Could be an advisor or maybe administrate.

Merton's self-fulfilling prophecy states that:
"If you define a situation as real, it is real
in it's consequences." I want this suggestion
to become real and am planting the idea
into your mind hoping it will sprout up in
the proper place. Now that it has become
your idea, your help and assistance would
be greatly appreciated.
