Wow, what a find for the world, to be able to recover such treasures!
If only we could find surviving works from the library at Alexandria. I've long held a theory that it was looted before it burned.
Hey. There might be a story in that.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Saw a recent article that took me by surprise.
When I read the title I could not believe my eyes.
It was called "F@&% Boston" and, if you click on this link,
Comments indicate that thought's more common than you'd think.

Vitriol and anger were directed at my state.
People made a list of things about us that they hate.
Number 1, it seemed to me, is that we - mostly - win
And, it's true, that Boston fans have ample cause to grin.

We parade in duck boats through the streets so often now
We've incited jealousy from other states... And how!
We have got it even worse than Yankees' fans have had;
All four major sports-teams and not one of ours is bad.

Red Sox
are World Champions; the Patriots just won
And, although I know that hockey season's just begun,
Boston's Bruins also look like they'll be doing well
Giving those who hate our city one more reason... Swell.

Basketball
might save us; let Miami take the heat.
Still, another Super Bowl for Brady would be sweet.
From our vantage in this "shining city on a hill"
We'll just overlook the people wishing Boston ill.

Man detained and submitted to hours of torture.
A man was pulled over for a simple traffic stop. Police noticed that the man seemed to be "clenching his buttocks" so they detained him while they obtained a search warrant, then submitted him to hours of painful and humiliating anal cavity searches, including multiple enemas and a surgical colonoscopy.
No drugs were found on (or in) his person.
Needless to say, he has filed suit.
