I have given up Charlie Rose for Lent <br />The sparkling cognoscenti of the world <br />It is my terrible atonement <br />For all my sins of knowing <br />When I have known so little <br />While suspecting even less <br />Of sin's great power to rule.<br /><br />Bill Grace<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/charlie-rose-for-lent/
