In Honor of "Little Milton"

A 14-year old in Nevada has rankled the feathers of a state poetry recitation competition (WTF?) because the poem he selected was "The More Loving One," by W.H. Auden. I've never heard it before, but apparently it's got "hell" and "damn" in it, which is too much for sensitive Nevadan ears (the state that gave us Vegas and the Moonlight Bunny Ranch? Bullshit!). But a federal judge has stepped in to allow the kid to recite the nasty words. Perhaps he's a Jethro Tull fan?
