Most Expensive Poem Ever

National Endowment for the Arts is funding 1.3 Billion for Big Poem project.

Okay, it's just an Onion story.

But, really, some federal money does pour into poetry.  (Like here.  And here.  Just for examples.)

Obama and McCain,
if you want my endorsement,
I need poetry subsidies
with Treasury enforcement!

Okay.  Not really.

Rather than sending me cash,
just give the budget a slash.
