Found Poem: Ice Fishing
Once upon a time there was a Presidential election
that was too close to call.
After ballot recounting and court challenges failed
to resolve the election,
a simple contest was suggested:
a weeklong ice fishing competition.
After a lot of back and forth,
it was decided that the contest would take place
on a remote frozen lake in North Dakota.
There were to be no observers present
at either man's site,
and each man was to be sent out separately
and return daily with his catch
for counting and verification.
At the end of the first day,
John K. returned to the starting line with ten fish.
Soon, George W. returned with no fish.
Well, everyone assumes he is
just having another bad hair day or something
and hopes he will catch up the next day.
At the end of the second day
John K. comes in with 10 fish again
and again George W. comes in with none.
That evening, Dick C.
gets together secretly with George W.
and says, "George, I think John K.
is a lowlife, cheatin' son-of-a-gun.
I want you to go out tomorrow
and don't even bother with fishing.
Just spy on him and see if he is cheating in any way."
The next night John K. comes back with 10 fish again,
and, of course, George W. with none.
Dick C. says to George W.,
"Well, what about it, is John K. cheatin'?"
"He sure is, Dick, he's cutting holes in the ice!"

John Kerry's political education is far deeper than that of senators who have
merely legislated. He has journeyed to the heart of darkness many times and
emerged to tell the tale. It was not simply that Kerry's commander in Vietnam
was the model of the blood-thirsty bombastic colonel in Apocalypse Now…
