"I remember hosting an open mic at which a fellow read a poem from the point of view of Jesus’ gay lover in which the lover said he didn’t go to The Last Supper because he didn’t do business dinners." I'd pay good money to hear that poem! Thanks for this Anselm B.

Queen Sophie, did she suffer or enjoy it?" and the rather large woman who was our host on behalf of the long-distant government of Spain standing up and saying never had she been so insulted and in her own house, they call them poets but they don't even have common courtesy.
