[He would get the failing grade for content, until the teacher realized it was written by the poet laureate from the Kingdom that produces the best writers and thinkers, and then he would get a failing grade for plagiarism.]Bruce Oksolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10952652803684625738noreply@blogger.com
