- Michael Chaplin composes:
-
- |Whilst getting my winter's haircut,
- |I strained to hear over the buzz
- |of the barber's electric razor,
- |a news report.
-
- |I *swear* I heard someone say that
- |Huntington, Indiana was honoring
- |JDQ by opening a museum or library
- |in his name! (Or maybe they were
- |unveiling a statue of him! I'm not
- |sure- I couldn't hear it too well.)
-
- |Will someone _!*PLEASE*!_ confirm or deny this?
-
- |Cradling my head in wonder,
- |Chaplin.
-
- <sniff> This is one of the most beautiful pieces of poetry I've ever
- read, Michael. You managed to express a child's sense of wonder and an
- adult cynicism in 13 short lines.
-
- I, for one, am deeply and truly affected.
