[Writingworkshop] Hate Crime

[Daniel Peters]

This is a little below standard for you man.  You simply turn out way too
much good poetry.   maybe it was a rhyme scheme that was a little too
restrictive.  Actually....I think the whole thing was just built as a
vehicle to carry the line "snug as a bug in a rug on a drug." Which would be
awesome if true.
