Billy Collins - Litany

Admire him. I still snicker remembering listening to his interview on NPR (2005)- Mr. COLLINS: … I mean, one of the things you get when you say you're a poet is, `Oh, you're a poet? Really? Well, that's interesting because our daughter, Tiffany--she's 11--she writes poetry.' (Soundbite of laughter) Mr. COLLINS: And my revenge fantasy is that I ask this guy what he does, and he says, `Well, I'm an investment banker.' And I say, `Really? Because our son Timmy was playing with some change on the floor the other day. Such an interesting connection.'
