FINAL OPTION

The Old Poets Brigade,
on a search and write mission,
fearlessly drop in front of enemy lines,
pen and paper at the ready.

Surrounded!
Colonel Ignoramus’ shock troops
to the left,
Captain Plagiarist elite battalion to the right…
what to do?!

-Situation hopeless, we have no choice…
drop the “P” bomb – that’s an order!

You mean…?!

-Yes, the “P” bomb,
it’s our only hope…
and hurry, before it’s too late!

Legend has it that the first “P” bomb went off at 11:00 a.m.
by 11:30 a.m. Chile announced that it was renaming itself Neruda,
followed shortly by Borges, formerly known as Argentina.

New York Mayor Ricky Martin also announced that the most iconic
street in the world, Broadway, will now be known as Kerouac’s Road.
