It's very difficult to write a poem every day or even three times a week. Actually, it isn't difficult to write a daily piece of garbage, but composing some verse that's worth reading proves more problematic, especially when one considers the author's other interests, like volcanic eruption prevention, supernova discovery, ostrich pornography, and devising names for as yet unknown elementary particles ("bliv" is a current favorite). In other words, if there was no volcanic eruption in your area today, you know whom to thank. If you did experience an eruption, well, we can't be everywhere at once!
In the future, I'm hoping for a one word State of the Union Address from this, or any, US President. Of course, there would have to be some guidelines. It can't be a swear word, for one thing, not because they aren't nicely descriptive but because they may prove difficult to interpret for posterity's sake, especially in the form of written transcript. Here are some recommendations for one word State of the Unions:
"Pie"
"Slim"
"Egret"
"Undulating"
"Wordsworthless"
"Trounced"
"Bobalooey"
"Pie"
"Hellacious"
I suppose the last one might be technically defined as a swear word, albeit a very mild one, but its descriptiveness can't be denied. It should also be obvious that the author has a favorite.
