To the editor:

Instead of forcing us to endure the analgesic prattle of Dan Johnson, could you replace his column with the words from one of those magnetic poetry kits randomly sampled out of a fishbowl?

If no magnetic poetry kits are available, put in one of those funny little “Madlib” puzzles where you put in the absurd nouns, adjectives, and verbs to make whimsical little sentences like “the (noun) cheese was (adj.) green and (adj.) smelly.”

See, wasn’t that more worthwhile than Dan Johnson’s languid twaddle about “nothingness?”
