Caveat: Lovely as a tree

Today is a holiday that, for whatever reason, I didn't realize was coming. Korean Memorial Day.

Sometimes those are the best kind of holiday, since there is no anticipation to get messed up – not that I ever anticipate much about holidays, anymore. But I am having a very relaxing day. I drew something, and read some things.

There is a blog called SpeculativeGrammarian, which is all about linguistic satire. I found this strange, short poem there. It made me laugh. I doubt it will make you laugh.

The poem's authorship is attributed to Bill Spruiell, who, like all the SpecGram writers, is fictional.

I think that I shall never see
A poem as lovely as a tree
That doesn’t represent a parse
Of this sentence.
