I was trying to write a poem
About the crooked and crabbed ghosts
Who haunt Vincent Van Gogh's picture
Of the Church at Auvers when
The Academy of Moral and Political Science
Without so much as knocking came in
And made themselves at home. "We've come,"
They said, "to live with you as you are
The newest member and we mean
To teach you everything we know about
Moral and Political Science. To begin with
Morality is not a science. Nor is politics.
But enough of that for now! What do you plan
To feed us? And do you happen to know
The Female Poets of the English Language
Arranged in Chronological Order? We're told
They're well worth meeting."
