I've seen this written as a poem; I was surprised to find that it's the work of a slam poet, Taylor Mali. I watched it three times and I almost had a Holy Ghost moment.
SWEET! I'd never seen him perform it! And now that I have...I'm thinking it couldn't have been exactly the same as the one I saw on his site. Still...I got chills.
I'm a spinster schoolmarm with a degree in English; I watch artsy movies about British people; I knit while watching the History Channel; I listen to NPR in the car; I eat frozen dinners on the couch.
Is that stereotypical enough for you?
No?
Well, then ... and I have a cat.

I LOVE him. And I can't stand the watered down version of his poem that's been going around the internet.
I have this exact same video clip on my myspace page. :)
