Short Stories from the Balkans (1919)

You canat always believe everything in the poetry I write, but donat let that stop you from reading this book. For example, while I was born in Fargo, according to my poem aFact and Fiction, a I never dated Cher. On the other hand, it is true that I am a son of the city and would not have been at home on the range, per my little ditty aFill aim Up?a Do French kids wear trench coats? I donat know the answer, but I thought the question would make a good title for a poem after the Columbine High School killings. I pondered what we could do with kids who go around shooting their fellow students. Put them in the zoo? No, I decided, kids are very tough to chew. Read this poem if you wish, but donat expect a happy ending. Lifealike some of my poetryais like that.
