[Newspoetry] poetry APB

[Editor-Within-Chief]

OK, people.  Newspoetry.com is facing a newspoetry drought.  Now more than 
ever we need your contributions.  Even a poem a month can make a difference 
for this poor, starving poetry website.  Plus it's completely 
tax-deductible.  OK, so it's not.  But it doesn't cost anything except the 
prose you would have otherwise written.

What to write about.  Well, there's juicy corporate scandal which is now 
implicating Ross Perot, the plummeting stock market, the 7-million-year-old 
humanoid skull, and ...

The Crown Victoria.  Seems police departments have noticed a Pinto-like 
tendency for CV's to explode upon rear impact, much more common for police 
cruisers than civilian CV's, because police cruisers tend to frequently be 
parked on shoulders -- and they're suing Ford.  This seems like a good 
Newspoetry topic for Your Aunt Barbara, Fatelli, or any of the rest of the 
family who ought to defend the CV against this kind of slander.

Let's see.  There's running with the bulls.  Surely Newton Bigelow was there?

And I can't believe there was no Newspoetry about the world cup.  Are we 
all living under rocks, or what?  (OK, admittedly I don't give a crap about 
the world cup either).

Yucca mountain, anyone?  Any local stories inspiring verse?

I know what you're asking.  You're asking: what's in it for me?  Well, 
that's a good question.  I'll have to think about that one.
