A poem for Brodhead

They say Duke University President Richard H. Brodhead loves poetry.

Well, the Poet of the Piedmont, Joan Foster, just sent one his way. It's an intentional parody of the op-ed Professor Thomas Crowley published in last Sunday's Durham Morning Herald. Crwoley apparently meant the piece as an expression of his most serious thoughts concerning legal aspects of the Duke Hoax. Instead, it was more of an unintentional self-parody.

You can read some blog responses here, here, here and here.

Joan's parody begins:

Good Morning, President Brodhead.
Did you enjoy your Cheerios?
Ready for your morning briefing, Dick?
Everything you need to know!
.
Prof Crowley wrote to the Herald Sun.
Unfortunately, he signed his name.
He wandered off the talking points.
It really was a shame.
.
Time and again we've told them, Dick,
To avoid this consternation
The trinity is... "American Pyscho,"
Racial Slurs, and Urination!

It continues here.

Enjoy!
