Oh, come on!  Your question DESERVED my response (of course, I'm rolling 
on the floor with laughter at this point).

In no way do I see myself as a serious poet.  It was a gag.  Could be 
seen as both literary challenge and example of simple user interaction 
(you stepped right up to that one, so don't blame ME!)

My only hope now is that the memory of this fades away into obscurity (no 
chance of me chasing down all the copies of it and burning them!)
