Saying It Like It Is
Greeting card to Howard Rosenberg (“In Search of the Greeting Card Poets,” June 9):
Why is it that you writers
Seem compelled to always do
When you refer to older ladies
You have to say our hair is “blue”?
Does this nasty little reference
Provide a joke, a laugh or two?
Who do you think will have the last laugh
When we just might outlast you?
