>>You should stay home from school more often.
Yes he should. That last line, with "encourage me
to song" at its end, makes me wonder whether form
is more important than substance; in fact, as far
as writing about poetry goes, and in all deference
to Robert ("I teach Wittgenstein and oh by the way
I have this winning and eloquent poetic voice if
needed.") Paul, that last line reads as though the
author lost faith in the form of the poem at the
end, a throwing up of hands that runs contrary to
our instinct to play.
Robert Paul for President.
