(November 1946)

What do you think this poem is about?

Barn Burned

I was furious when 'So You Think You Can Dance'
Was over for the year.
I'll make do with 'Dancing with the Stars'
I Thought.
If I hadn't, I'd have missed some good movers -J.R.,
And Rob Kardashion's metamorphosis.
And now that that too is over, I've been missing out,
But in desperation I turned on XFactor.
I hate it, I have to tell you.
It's offensive, but I'm kind of glad,
I watched Josh Krajcik,
Particularly singing Leonard Cohen's
'Hallelujah'.
Also I watched more 'The mentalist', and
Got to enjoy, 'Body of Proof',
All the while heartbroken that 'Rubicon',
And 'Life on Mars' were canceled, because
They were too good.

So this is a teeny, tiny,
Tip of the hat,
To that great and wondrous saying:

'Barn burned down.
Now I can see the moon.'
