As recommended by the pome newsletter, an excerpt of "Men and Their Novels."

if you ask one to do useful work
he will grind you
into the very dirty floor
and kiss you
for hours
if you look closely
you will see he is never
really sleeping
he is busy carving
his name into iron
he is plowing the forests to dust
he is breaking the record
for most novels ever written
