i 
A fellow from across the sea 
doesn’t allow messages 
don’t know him well 
so don’t know why 
this need 
but every man 
should know what he’s doing 
and I respect such insight. 
 
ii 
Someone wrote 
Jerry Hughes, Loser 
couldn’t let that stand 
and usually I never 
enter public quarrels 
basically 
not smart enough 
for scintillating repartee 
but 
couldn’t let that poem 
stand, as if true. 
 
iii 
Also gotta stick up 
for this land 
land of the free 
and home 
of the brave. 
Ah,  
so many sighs now 
laughter not far behind 
yet 
many here feel 
the bloody pain 
Bush has shoved down 
our clotted throats.
