I found an envelope on the bottom of a pile of what's best described as "stuff." It was full of DN submissions, apparently sent 9 or 10 years ago.  Oops. Fortunately, I'm still in touch with the artist. I mailed him a check and returned some of the pictures. It may not be a coincidence that 2 days later I attended a fundraiser that used a home-made version of Jeopardy. Every apostrophe and comma in the clues was misused. Still fun, though.

It's Better Now


nobody expected the ATMs
to move so quickly nobody
thought AI meant anything more
than electronic slaves nobody knew
until 12:00:01 A.M. that
money was disappearing all gone
by 12:00:03 except the paper stuff
long obsolete and held
only by fogies
Trumpian arsenals useless
against drones, smart cars, etc

poverty solved
we'd all be billionaires
if dirt was dollars
