Goosebumps--love it.
I shall not die alone, alone, but kin to all the powers,
As merry as the ancient sun and fighting like the flowers.

Note to League of Women Voters. Here's how to win in that situation:

"Are we going to say the Pledge of Allegiance?"

"It wasn't on the agenda, but that's a great idea! Let's do it!"
"I'm a foolish old man that has been drawn into a wild goose chase by a harpy in trousers and a nincompoop."
