The Lesson" — Billy Collins
In the morning when I found History
snoring heavily on the couch,
I took down his overcoat from the rack
and placed its weight over my shoulder blades.
It would protect me on the cold walk
into the village for milk and the paper
and I figured he would not mind,
not after our long conversation the night before.
How unexpected his blustering anger
when I returned covered with icicles,
the way he rummaged through the huge pockets
making sure no major battles or English queen
had fallen out and become lost in the deep snow.

What a lame poem. Sheer boredom made him write this one. Sheer boredom is what I found in reading it.
I never heard of him before, not that THAT makes him "nobody". Hopefully, it's not his best work. :o
Well, if OBAMA is the president, it just all sorta falls into place. Where's you little puking green head guy when I need him.
