Billy Collins

Something rather hilarious crossed by path not too long ago. And while I'm somewhat reluctant to post something I didn't really discover by myself, I think it's time to unwrap this delicious piece of art...

As a background, Billy Collins served two terms as Poet Laureate of the United States. His piece "Litany" is among the most entertaining things I've ever read. I thought to post it here but it's somewhat long so I will invite you to find it yourself, or spare yourself the trouble and simply click this link. And to make things even easier, I've embedded the video where he reads it aloud...but you might get more out of it from reading it first.
