[Fictionary] And your poem is....

[Jim Moskowitz]

As of now I've received fauxems from David, Linda, and Pierre, but 
nobody else. I'd like to get more, and I'm going to vacation to 
Boston tomorrow & so wouldn't likely be doing any fictionarying for 
the duration... so I'm going to give a one-week extension on entries. 
Please send in fake completions of the poem by Thursday 11/16. Thank 
you!
