[LADY J]

"My, oh, my... Theodore Roethke (”My Papa's Waltz”) is rolling over in his grave right now from a whiff of that rancid knock-off. And, yes, I'm saying it is a knock-off (and a godawful one)."

Is there a link to read 'My Papa's Waltz'?

Is there a link to read 'My Papa's Waltz'?

It's a fairly short poem that should be found on any Roethke website (I would think). But I don't have any link info for you on me right now. I'm at work at the moment — and I'm working very hard right now too. :)

There's no doubt in my mind that our young Mr. Obama read this poem and tried to make it his own. He didn't succeed.
