[stylist] Poem - "Note on Cthulhu" - Final Draft

[Chris Kuell]

Hi Bill,

Don't worry--it wasn't a waste of electrons. My one criticism, or comment,
really, is--why did you put asterisks at the beginning and end of every
line? I read with Jaws, and found it very distracting. As to content, not
being a huge Lovecraft fan, I don't think I could fully appreciate your
effort. 

Chris

Hello Friends,

Here's a wee "poetette" about H. P. Lovecraft's monstrous god, dread
Cthulhu.  It's a quick little bite of toast, hardly worth the electrons
which comprise it, but maybe it's a little bit delightful anyway.  
Indulge me, ha. Hope your Fourth was free of rocket burns, lost eyes and
that sort of thing.


--Bill

*Note on Cthulhu *

**

*IN his tomb in R'lyeh *

*dread Cthlhu lies dreaming.*

*And if in fact at night our *

*politicians pray It is *

*to him they kneel,whose every *

*snore bubbles up from the deep *

*to nuzzle the keels *

*of our dreaming warships. *
