You know, the more I think about this, I remember how, about a year and a half ago, I saw this female physician who started yelling at me about high blood pressure, which I do not now, and never have had; well I remember how I would have liked to slap her silly, or drop kick her to the moon!

Yes, that makes you one of the whole two poets I actually like. And Nicanor Parra is frequently referred to as “the anti-poet”, which is probably why I like him. Generally speaking, I am not much for poetry.

That’s fantastic, Ann! You are officially my second favorite poet (Nicanor Parra is still ahead of you).

A disgruntled old cellist in Wien,
Gave his teacher a swat to the bean,
He knocked the poor guy,
Through the window, my, my,
But the landing was feet first and clean!

I daresay there are some who seem to ask to be defenstrated. But here we talk more about hitting them on the head, like maybe with a rolled up newspaper.
