Your fortieth one: The Great Communicator? Comprehend this...

Note: I am still not sure how to use the poetic form function now that Vocal has provided it (even Justin wanted to know I could not make it work). It is all still really tedious when working directly on the page, not so when I go to a separate laptop. So many of my poems had a particular form that the page changed and I want to go back and fix them, so any clear and comprehensible advice on spacing and gaps would help (clear and comprehensible, folks!)

And yeah, this is about your Reagan and his nickname. Strange how far things have come and how things have changed.
