This is what happens when you mix a love of poetry and a desire to stay up-to-date on the state of world affairs.
This is Just to Say was inspired by the poet and physician William Carlos Williams’s (1883-1963) great poem “This is Just to Say”:
I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold
