This is a found poem, sent along by a colleague after doing a catalog search for a book on chess. During the search, by dropping off the "w" in "winning" and searching "inning" along with the rest of the title, this is the lovely, lyrical result:
INNING is not in any titles.
Therefore "INNING" is discarded.
CHESS is not in any titles.
Therefore "CHESS" is discarded.
THE is not in any titles.
Therefore "THE" is discarded.
EASY is not in any titles.
Therefore "EASY" is discarded.
WAY is not in any titles.
Therefore "WAY" is discarded.
With Lao Tzu, one is tempted to title this "The Way" (that is not the Way) ...
Thanks to Amy, who also provided this wonderful poetic epigraph for Past All Traps:
jesus christ, wentworth,
your lame goddam poetry
annoys me like fuck.

I did a few articles of found poems from Robert E. Howard, poems taken from his prose stories. Some really good stuff.
Charles, are they published anywhere? Don
Conan!
I'd like to see those too.
I almost said Gonad! We usually refer to him around the house as Gonad the Barbarian.....
I'm sure others do to.
Tom:
Of course, there are those of us in the library profession who refer to Conan the Librarian.
And, seriously, don't miss this.
Don
I'll look at that - Conan the Librarian, why not. I also like what Terry Prachett did with Cohen the Barbarian and his Silver Horde.
