NB: At one point in the Gabbert segment I say “poem” when I (clearly?) mean “column.” Also, Gabbert’s actual claim about the Herrick poem (which, as I neglect to say, is titled “To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time”) is that the title and first line are memorable (true!), but the rest of the poem is forgettable (less true).
Wear SLEERICKETS t-shirts and hoodies. They look good!
