The Holy Tango

A mailing list I'm on has given me this gem to pass to you:

I WILL ALARM ISLAMIC OWLS
WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS


I will be alarming
the Islamic owls
that are in
the barn

and which
you warned me
are very jittery
and susceptible to loud noises

Forgive me
they see so well in the dark
so feathery
and so dedicated to Allah

The poet's name is anagrammed and a poem is written on the anagram in that poet's style. And I die crying with laughter.
