BEAUTIFUL Railway Bridge of the Silvery Tay !
With your numerous arches and pillars in so grand array
And your central girders, which seem to the eye
To be almost towering to the sky.
The greatest wonder of the day,
And a great beautification to the River Tay,
Most beautiful to be seen,
Near by Dundee and the Magdalen Green.

Yep, it looks like the man finally has some competition. Let's get this into the anthologies, people. Never forget! WOLVERINES!

In the airplane blind-dating the south tower,
People are screaming with horror.*
The airplane meeting the north tower
Erupts with ketchup.

Thus Frederick Seidel, a poet published by Farrar Straus, quoted in the London Review, 6 August.

The reviewer, Michael Robbins, a graduate candidate at U. Of Chicago, is only slightly less idiotic:

"Only Seidel could make a work like `ketchup` offensive – but it's directed against the terrorists as well as those who would use their crime to venerate their own holy wars, and also against the poet's own incommensurability to the occasion."

*OK, thanks for letting us all in on that, Fred. No one would have guessed!
