SHOUTING "BOO YA!" AT WIKILEAKS AND SNOWDEN, NOBLE EXPERIMENT — Ever since Mayor-elect Kevin Faulconer's Media Manager Cara Talkingpoint announced the appointment of San Diego poet laureate Wanmor Bonghit to write the verse to be read at the upcoming inauguration ceremony, members of the city's literati have been wondering: Would the famously bad-boy bard sell out? Would he take the City Council's advice and pen "a humorous limerick — bawdy but not dirty — that skewers [gropey ex-Mayor Bob] Filner and welcomes Mayor Faulconer into this proud new era of San Diego government"? They need wonder no more. SD on the QT is proud to present an exclusive preview of Bonghit's poem, a "reinterpretation" of William Butler Yeats' famous work, "The Second Coming." Apparently, the allure of Yeats' immortal line, "the falcon cannot hear the falconer," proved too hard to resist.
