Bruce's favorite poem

Teaching the Ape to Write Poems

James Tate, 1943

They didn't have much trouble teaching the ape to write poems:
first they strapped him into the chair, then tied the pencil around his hand
(the paper had already been nailed down).
Then Dr. Bluespire leaned over his shoulder and whispered into his ear:
"You look like a god sitting there. Why don't you try writing something?"
