Comment on I Used To Be A Real Piece Of Shit

I have eaten
the plums
that were in
the icebox
and which
you were probably
saving
for breakfast
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so cold

(This Is Just To Say, William Carlos Williams)

    oops! Sorry. It’s a recent parody/homage/whatever of the poem:
    
    -This is just to say
    
    -I have eaten -the rich -that were at -the golf club
    
    -and which -you were probably -saving -for class war
    
    -Forgive me -they were delicious -so white -and so old
    
    It was posted on Twitter by “your friend Helen” (@hels) many years back. I assume they were the author but I really don’t know.
