Random Writing Challenge #1

So I was re-reading some old, old, old poems that I'd written. Most, if not all, were godawful, but one I came across a few exercises that I thought were fun. One of them was a variety of the ever so-cryptic found poem. (I'd really started getting into Found Poetry right about then.)

At the time (early 2000s, mind you), the Department of Homeland Security had just been created, and in the true spirit of "Duck and Cover", they released press releases suggesting that duct tape was an essential tool to protect one's family from chemical/biological weapons. This became known as the "Duct Tape Alert."

In any case, I'm posting one as an example. It's not great, but it's fun. And it's straight from the Fed. Send some along if you get a chance. I'll post 'em, yeah?
