Lingering Like a Lost Poem

What do I have to do, be another Don Trump and have 
to insult you to pieces. Well, here goes. I know that the 
intelligence level is much lower in the South and you 
have to adapt your newspaper to fit the minds and brains 
of your clientele. You, at one time, used to publish my 
poems but don't anymore for what reason I do not know 
why. Employees on your newspaper might not be very 
bright as well and cannot comprehend or understand  
my poetry. People have been asking me why you no 
longer publish my poems. But being that your staff is
not that bright, it is difficult for them to mentally perceive 
and understand my poems and poetry sad to say. Now 
that I have pulled a Don Trumpism on you lets see if go
ahead and publish my poem. When you do. be sure to
send me an email showing me that you did. I just let
both of your subscriptions expire. You should have sent 
me an email indicating your next copy was available to
read. Not only that, you could email all of us in the whole
entire county a free copy of your newspaper. In that way,
all of your county businesses would know that everyone 
in the entire county was receiving their advertisements.
So how about being a nice Brunswickian and publish 
my poems and start Poetry Club and have a poetry news
column in your newspaper. Maybe the libraries could also 
start the same thing. Jim Horn 
PS. I just sent this to local newspapers and libraries. Results
should prove to be quite interesting.
