I've been wondering what to read at the next poetry meeting in two weeks' time, and you may have inadvertently provided the answer.Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-40830584176634121272011-11-30T22:43:53.692+00:002011-11-30T22:43:53.692+00:00CAUC is an acronym rather than an abbreviation. &q...CAUC is an acronym rather than an abbreviation. "Complete And Utter Cretin", I believe - or something quite close to it. "Clod"? Something beginning with "C" and four letters long. Ends with a "T", I think. "Clot"?

The full texts are available on Google and you might consider including them at a future poetry reading. Or in your favourite quotations.Ex- Rugger Buggernoreply@blogger.com
