A wit, an intellectual, a poet!

I needed a bit of humor in my life today! Thank you for putting a smile on my face at a time when a frown on my face is more likely these days!

Poets take Notice for you too, can inspire others!

I enjoyed Dan Menaker as much as I enjoyed Billy collins in this conversation.

RIP. He never enjoyed the recognition he deserved.

he mostly is a comedian, overrated imo

[@rapier1954]

Another failed poet speaking no doubt.

[@AGATIify]

A failed poet? Are you kidding? He's one of the most popular American poets of all time!

[@rapier1954]

I was talking to the person who commented - it was a reply to his comment that Billy Collins is overrated. I think that is clear from the context.

@@rapier1954 Yes shame on Shakespeare for his humor also.
