This is just to say
You shouldn't let poets
Lie to you

I never ate your fucking plums
I threw them out
Because you would have loved them

I was going to say I've been home all day but that's not right.

I got up this morning & visited my doctor, because I've felt like hell for the past week and it can't continue like this. Its looking like I have strep; we're waiting for the actual culture and not just the quick one. I'm hoping it is, both because then there is a drug that will make me feel better and also because I won't have wasted my money on the doctor.

Oh, that is completely wonderful and awesome. (The poem, naturally, not the strep. Feel better soon!)

William Carlos Williams' sole raison d'etre was to be an object of satire--IMO, of course :->

I read this site called Metafilter and the posters there do fairly frequent parodies of this specific poem. They've been collected here.
