Wow. That was really bad. I went back and read it again, thinking maybe I had been too harsh, but no, it's really bad. I can't remember the last time I read a poem that bad that didn't start off with Oh frettled gruntbuggly... This is hilarious why? Because it's so inept?

"Tree" sent me on a web-search for a story of the NYC bag snaggers. Wonder of wonders, it's on the website of Islam America: Tilting at Tree Bags.

Carol Anne: That tree-bagger link is *really fine*---I'm going to see if I can get one. For some reason, my small NJ town is rife with tree bags and it makes me crazy to see them. Thanks!

Uh, I hate to ask this, but I've looked at more here now, and maybe this is just a goof...?
