#4 'My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my works. Ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.

#7 "...Local residents applauded to the president's every keen and witted word..."

#12 Here I sit all
broken hearted.
I came to make laws
but all I got was this stinking book of poetry.
