I know, as I explained, I usually do not consider this a poem (for some of
my "real" poetry, check out http://www.rivertext.com/busch.shtml). But there
are many people nowadays who only consider it true, sophisticated poetry
when it is written in free-verse form; that's why I wrote this spoof,
expressing something extremely profane in a form that is so "lyrical" that
no-one even pays attention to the meaning! I've had many people tell me that
"this is so beautiful", although it simply describes someone landing in a
mud puddle on his behind!
