Shakespeare can sleep easy. His reputation as creator of some of the English language's greatest poems is in no danger of being overtaken. At least not by the likes of former Minneapolis Mayor R.T. Rybak, whose "poem" the DNC chose to use in a fund-raising email today. Rybak's shtick is tweeting out his doggerel.
His poem, if such it can be called, can be read after the break. Rybak is a guy, by the way, who thinks Cheney-shoot-you-in-the-face cracks are cool.
View the pitiful poem here.

Are you Mark Finkelstein?
It seems that your only mission is to pimp this particular site.

Larry, yes, I’m Mark. I began my blogging doing vanity posts at FR—mainly aimed at the Today show during the Couric/Gumbel era. When NewsBusters was created, they invited me to blog there, but staying true to my FR roots I cross-post my items here.

Democrat's Poem?
There once was a rep from Florida
every time her mouth opened she said horrida
Knew she did not
Differences Socalist and Democot
But the media said she was valedictoria

Can we assume Rybak’s favorite ‘poem’ in the real world is, ‘Roses are red, violets are blue...’

Roses are Red
Violets are Blue
We’re gonna spend it
And take it from you
