Music!  Thank you Kenny Koch
for making my days.  I’d like to thank
the academy of awards, Oscar, or Meyer --
whoever.  All the hot dogs that made
this possible.  All those who by gallant
example showed me how not to write.
I’d like to thank early man for developing
verbal communication and passing down
his genes to me.  I’d like to thank modern
man for curly cueing symbols that stood
for sounds.  I’d like to thank Ed Poe,
Bob Frost, Shakespeare, Guttenberg,
inks inventor, all the trees that gave their all.
I know I’m going to leave somebody out.
The big people like Kenny Koch
who allow little people like me to stand
on their shoulders.  They’re rocket
scientists for spacey astronauts.
I’d like to thank the readers
most of all.  Where would writers
be without readers?  Thank you all
so much.  You’re all so wonderful.
Thank you!  Thank you again!
Now I really must go home
and actually write something.

Very funny.  I read this in a computer lab on campus and got dirty looks for laughing out loud.

is this a poem? it kind of reads like a speech to me. anyway, there must have been some poetic inspiration for you to thank the trees. it was a good read, whether poetry or speech. thanks for sharing.

dancing freely with the stars,
looking down upon streets and cars
from my world ,
a wonderful view.
i looked here,
and now found you!
