National Poetry Month: The Poetry of Limbaugh and Gaga

No matter your opinion of Mitt Romney, the first word you think of when you hear his name is probably not "poet."  That is, unless you're Kathryn or Ross Petras.  In their recent article in The Huffington Post, Kathryn and Ross skim through the words of some of today's most prominent public figures, looking for snatches of poetry.  The results are weird, hilarious, horrifying and fascinating.  But mostly hilarious.

Still not convinced?  Maybe the poetry of Lady Gaga will change your mind:

So Many Different Ways to Think About Colors
by Lady Gaga

If I decide to make a red coat in the show, it's not just red. I think:

Is it communist red?
Is it cherry cordial?
Is it ruby red?
Or is it apple red?
Or the big balloon red?

I mean there's so many @&#*ing different kinds of red!
