Taking that as her cue, my muse whispered, "Carl Sandburg," in my ear, and the rest is epigraph history.

Clerihew for a Poet
I’ve written some poetry I don’t understand myself. ~Carl Sandburg
Thus, Carl Sandburg wrote,
(to paraphrase his quote)
“I don’t always ‘git it’
even if I writ it.”

A Shore Thing*
A book is never a masterpiece; it becomes one. ~Carl Sandburg
There once was a woman named Snooki
who was kind of an arts/letters rookie.
But she got a book deal
which I still find surreal
since her talent is more about nookie.
I doubt that her book makes ‘the list’
and in fact, it should just be dismissed.
But this stuff seems to sell
even if it is hell
and it’s penned by a true solipsist.
