Poem in your pocket day
Today is "poem in your pocket day" according to an ad in the NY Times sponsored by the City of New York, Scholastic Books, Borders, HarperCollins and the NYTimes The ad quotes the following poem:
Don't be polite--How to eat a poem by Eve Merriam
Bite in
Pick it up with your fingers and lick the juice that may run down your chin
It is ready and ripe now, whenever you are
You do not need a knife or fork or spoon or plate or napkin or tablecloth
For there is no core
Or stem
Or rind
Or pit
Or seed
Or skin
To throw away
