The chosen poet will serve a two-year term and be awarded a grant of $50,000 for the commissioning of new poems and to create a public program series, including programs for youth and students, the mayor’s office said. The poet will also serve as an ambassador for the city’s literary and creative communities.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
“You won’t think this fight is no joke when you come to, and your nose is broke.” (Thanks, Deacon.)
“… the dew kisses the morning grass, and, class …” (Thanks, Cheech and Chong.)
These are excerpts from two of the greatest poems ever written.
straight old white guys need not apply
Tim and I went camping
Under a sky of blue
The girls were three
And we were two
So I bukt one
And Timbuktu
Shooting on the streets of the city
Make it look not so pretty
Walk the streets and take a chance
What you see you’ll crap your pants
Crooks run wild everywhere
Local Politicians really don’t care
Liberal idiots vote them in
They even reelected Lil Kim
City on the lake is now on the rocks
Homeless everywhere living in a box
The Magnificent Mile used to be fun
Go there now but carry a gun
A once great city is now almost dead
Stupid voters are out of their head.
Hows that?
Renaissance Man, you are.
Thank you!
A poet laureate is as necessary for Chicago as tits on a bull.
