This came from a letter to the editor. The letter was written by … me.  I wrote in response to the July 12^th guest column that became the subject of my poem for July 12. 

This poem may sound familiar because the letter I sent to the newspaper was taken from my comment on the July 12^th poem.

The picture that I used to illustrate the July 12th poem was what inspired the letter to the letter. What an interesting chain of events.
