I was expecting the Ashcroft Moment ("Let the Eagle Soar") but then I got to the meat of it and liked it. Mr. Astrue, you had me at "When first I swore to tap dance on your grave ..."

Not my kind of poet at first blush, but enjoyed the article. Thanks

Dull desk job and verse have gone together before.

For while my daily rage maybe diminished,
I assure you we are still not finished.
I bet by now you have stolen time
To edit The Beginner’s Guide to Hell.
I trust you’ve cheated Charon of a dime
And somehow brought a blush to Jezebel.
I see you basting in satanic slime
Before deep-frying in your cockroach shell.

Heh.
