That's great, Marilyn! Have you decided on an Official Limousine - a Poetmobile - yet? I hear the new top-of-the-line Cadillacs get excellent mileage, God knows GM and America need the business, and the sunroof option is great for distributing couplets to the crowds.

Marilyn will retroactively be writing a poem lamenting Wisconsin's loss to Davidson (Go 'Cats!) in last year's NCAA playoffs.
