You mention poetry, you get poems.
Here’s a sonnet from a reader. It touched my heart… or possibly it was
my pancreas.
Ode to NRO
A joyful sight to me the NRO
Each morning as the Web to start my day
With reading Derb and beauteous K-LO
And Jonah boldly steps into the fray
Ledeen with wisdom and experience
Does comment on the workings of the State
And how it handles its Intelligence
A system he will often times berate
Brave Stuttaford and clever Ponnuru
With Myrna blithely make the columns shake
While Nordlinger with comments impromptu
Does cause my thoughts to tremble and to quake
These stalwarts write and still I cry for more
While all around me shout “Bush in ‘04!”
