the email of my dreams
Dear David,
I want to invite you to Ottawa and give you a job as the official NDPoet laureate. I've also found a nice young socialist who reads your blogs who doesn't know any of your ex-girlfriends and wants to go out with you. We've just been elected to govern the country and the new Constantines album, Tournament of Hearts, is out and it rocks. Hah, rocks, get it? The Cons are thinking of joining Broken Social Scene and The Weakerthans to form The Brokonstanthans.
George W. Bush has been impeached and it turns out Dick Cheney was a robot... which would have made him President, were he not made in China.
The new President, Howard Zinn has announced that the United States is undergoing a massive program of reparations towards American Indians and other groups the United States has displaced / invaded / colonized. They've committed to putting every available resource into stopping the AIDS crisis and have introduced radical new anti-pollution legislation, which is for some reason incredibly popular.
The position of NDPoet Laureate involves writing songs to celebrate socialism and love and other good hippie stuff, but not about hippie like anticonformism or expanding your consciousness. Also, you should put new poems on your blog pretty frequently. I really liked that one you wrote about dinosaurs.
Well, I've got a very excited coalition government to run. David Suzuki and Stephen Lewis told me to send you their love. They like your blogs too. Hope you'll consider my proposition; the world needs more poets.
With love,

Perhaps less emoetry would be good...
You may be right... it is a very dinosaur-sounding name. On the other hand, when these bands get really old, it might become necessary for them to play together if too many of their bandmates die or retire.
it was really nice of Jack to make sure the young socialist doesn't know any of your exes.
