For My Friends Who Don't Read Poetry

A quick video follows to demonstrate the deep disturbance afflicting many poets and gardeners. Clearly, the subtext warns one should maintain a safe distance from the aforementioned types, unless they bathe and immediately enroll in a 12-step program. Additionally, there is an obvious lesson for all wives to consider, namely, that it might be wise to hide their video cameras, in order to prevent them from falling into the hands of their husbands (there is certainly no telling what uses they may find for them). And finally, you might come away from this video recognizing that poetry isn't always what you might expect, it could possibly be as scary as that latest thriller or horror film, and occasionally even meaningful. Well, it could happen.
