Walt Whitman

You were considered prolific with poetic verse. The subjects you covered were quite diverse. Who else would write about prostitutes and nudity? With your quill pen over the years, you kept yourself busy. A favorite son you became in Camden, New Jersey. If I continued to write the way you did, what would happen to me? Perhaps in the future, they will name a bridge after me!
