A GREAT IDEA! -- BUT FOR TOI, NOT MOI!
Today, I wrote one poem. This led me to think of the following oooo-lip-yan for generating new poems:
New Year's Day: Write 1 poem
New Year's Second Day: Write 2 poems
New Year's Third Day: Write 3 poems
and so on until we get to
New Year's Last Day: Write 365 poems
for a total of [1+2+3+4...+365 poems = someone do the math for lazy Moi] poems!
In the old days -- as old as, uh, last year -- the minute I thought of that idea, I would have done it.
Today, this New Year, I thought of it and ... moued moiself a teensy yawn before concluding: Pass.
Does this mean I've become an old fart?
Naaaahhhh! Let's just call it Moi's Aching Back Poetics!

It occurs to me, Jukka wouldn't require a calendar year to write that many poems. He could probably do it in 365 minutes!
