Oulipost preview! boys, boys, boys.

The oulipost exercise starts in April, but I wanted to share my warm-up exercise.


here is the assignment:


TAUTOGRAM...
Compose a poem whose words -- or at least the principal ones -- all begin with the same letter. The words must be sourced from your newspaper.


This is what I did with that. It's probably not Shakespeare, but it's a start.

boys, boys:

behind Bellaire, Brandon
Buckley becoming Big Bird
bit by bit, but better,
brighter; back behind Bellaire
