Poets these days are a mannerly crowd,

Only if manners according to an MTV dictionary means:

Most foul, obscene, depraved, vile, morally corrupt, perverted, distorted and deviant.

Oh yeah, like we believe they would all behave like perfect angels once they were at the White House. They probably planned to start chanting their tired anti-war slogans, fists raised high in the air.

Then the Secret Service would be forced to drag their sorry behinds outside where their little photography chums would chronicle the fiasco for some cruddy coffee table book that the libs would purchase with adolescent glee.

Thanks, but NO THANKS. :)
