00:00:01.830 --> 00:00:07.320 align:middle line:84%
I'm going to do a trio of poems
now, that all revolved around

00:00:07.320 --> 00:00:15.780 align:middle line:84%
an ambition to write poems
that dealt with that sentence

00:00:15.780 --> 00:00:18.300 align:middle line:84%
that every typist knows
because it contains

00:00:18.300 --> 00:00:21.630 align:middle line:84%
all the letters of the
alphabet, the quick brown fox

00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:22.740 align:middle line:90%
jumped over the lazy dog.

00:00:22.740 --> 00:00:26.640 align:middle line:84%
And my ambition was to
write a poem for every word.

00:00:26.640 --> 00:00:29.640 align:middle line:84%
So what you're going to
get is "Quick Brown Fox."

00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:33.485 align:middle line:90%
I didn't do the--

00:00:33.485 --> 00:00:34.940 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:00:34.940 --> 00:00:36.600 align:middle line:90%
And I hope you get it some day.

00:00:36.600 --> 00:00:43.470 align:middle line:90%


00:00:43.470 --> 00:00:43.970 align:middle line:90%
Quick.

00:00:43.970 --> 00:00:46.740 align:middle line:90%


00:00:46.740 --> 00:00:49.470 align:middle line:90%
Look, a baby one.

00:00:49.470 --> 00:00:53.250 align:middle line:84%
Wink of fuzz in the
headlights and gray at back.

00:00:53.250 --> 00:00:55.380 align:middle line:84%
Now he peers through the
culvert, all bobble

00:00:55.380 --> 00:00:58.590 align:middle line:84%
and twitch, vacant eyes,
he's been through this bait

00:00:58.590 --> 00:01:00.870 align:middle line:90%
and switch all night.

00:01:00.870 --> 00:01:02.280 align:middle line:90%
Where's mother?

00:01:02.280 --> 00:01:06.360 align:middle line:84%
On the hill there crested
in moonshine the fabled

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:07.620 align:middle line:90%
silhouette.

00:01:07.620 --> 00:01:10.230 align:middle line:84%
Sleep curves,
lumpening into a tail,

00:01:10.230 --> 00:01:13.290 align:middle line:84%
waving its flamboyant
afterthought.

00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:14.910 align:middle line:90%
She disappears.

00:01:14.910 --> 00:01:16.710 align:middle line:90%
Red swish or gray.

00:01:16.710 --> 00:01:19.222 align:middle line:90%
Too quick to tell.

00:01:19.222 --> 00:01:21.900 align:middle line:90%
Oh, to be gone like that.

00:01:21.900 --> 00:01:25.050 align:middle line:90%
No grief nor thought of love.

00:01:25.050 --> 00:01:29.480 align:middle line:90%
Pure purpose poured into flight.

00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:30.000 align:middle line:90%
