Nor this blog, for that matter, although if anyone reads it, they know for certain it ain't that serious. I don't know much about Billy Collins but from what I have seen he seems to be making a big contribution to American poetry. I've heard him interviewed about anthologies he's edited, and his efforts to try to bring poetry into people's lives. Obviously it has had an effect on yours. I thought this poem had plenty of truth in it, who among us has not thought that about their boss in their life, in more or less the same words. I like the fact that you took a quick hairpin curve with this one. Keep 'em guessin' Duke!!! And keep those poems coming......still waiting for you to post one of your own, I might have to 'highjack' this series one week, steal one of yours, and shove it on here!!!
