"Roughly a sonnet, in the natural talk of Forth Worth and the U.S.A., 1974, written by a high school student and part time busboy at the Sheraton Hotel, observing the annual banquet of the Texas Institute of Letters through the kitchen doors of the Grand Ballroom, so-called. Three of the lines owe something to a song by the English rock group, The Who. The poem was handed to William Burford, who had taught this student in a class in the Poetry-in-the-Schools program of the National Endowment for the Arts, and I have had it printed in an edition of one hundred copies by the Motheral Press of Fort Worth, for distribution to members of the Institute and non-members who may be interested in hearing poetry as it is being written, sung, spoken by teh young who watch and listen when we may not know they do."--Unnumbered page 4.
