Author's Note (4/29): After a few people have asked me, I am here to confirm that yes, indeed, I wrote this poem. It was written during a fit of enthusiastic inspiration several years ago. I like saying it out loud. Interestingly, it only counted up to 18 until I re-discovered it in one my past daybooks. I like it much better with the full 20: plenty has such a nice, definitive feel to it, whereas date queen just kind of left me hanging.
