Mayor Bloomberg may be a lame duck mayor, but he's super busy. Earlier this week, he recommended to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi that the United State should open its markets. Yesterday, he met with British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and showed off his open-cubicle bullpen (and huge plasma TV). And today, besides hosting the 2008 New York City Luncheon at the Four Seasons, the Mayor had a peom published in today's Metro, in honor of Poem in Your Pocket Day.
Here's the Mayor's poem, "Press Conference" (note--Bloomberg is the rhyming type of poet):
Pardon me, sir, I’ve a question or two …There's an open-mic reading of poems at Bryant Park until 3 p.m.
You.Sir, you said poetry is a delight…
Right.Reading it makes you smarter, more mature?
Sure.
But is it better for people not to read verse?
Worse.Do you read sonnets? Limericks? Odes?
Loads.All these short answers. Why?
I -Follow-up! What do you do in your free time?
Rhyme.Could poems appeal to the Press?
Yes.But can they help with traffic congestion?
Next question.

Get bent Bloomberg.
"Yesterday, [where's my verb] British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and showed off his open-cubicle bullpen (and huge plasma TV)"
A peom? Whats a peom?
Did he write this on company time?
Is that a Poem in Your Pocket, Mayor Bloomberg, or are you just happy to see me?
omg, it must suck to work near him, breathing down your neck all the time.
Kind of short and dull, don't you agree?
are you talking about my poem or me?
Still, props to you, Mike, for rhyming "congestion"
I'd have more if I'd gone with the "tax hike" suggestion
