I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree
Indeed, unless the billboards fall
I’ll never see a tree at all.

    Now if only we could shut down all those copyright infringing public libraries that that thoughtless and uneducated Ben Franklin created, our society could truely be free! (yes. this IS satire.)

  2. Peter Adams says:

    Sometimes the first word of the third line of this poem starts with ‘Indeed’ and on other occasions ‘Perhaps’. Which is correct?
