After so much angst...

Oh, the wailing and gnashing of teeth that went on before this gem was written! My son, who is 15 and a sophomore in high school, had an assignment to write a sonnet. He was not pleased. We wrangled about it a bit - why do I have to write one? They're stupid! I CAN'T! You get the idea. So our words of encouragement were something along the lines of have fun with it. He didn't believe it could be done, until he did it! 

Right on, son! Write on!
