Caulfield: YAWP! Frazz: I see you've figured out how to vent while looking cultured. Caulfield: Walt Whitman really only needed to write that to be Walt Whitman.
My b-in-l composed music to “Leaves of Grass” and it was premiered in 1962 at the new Opera House in Seattle with two opera singers and with Milton Katim conducting.
I tried to read “Leaves of Grass”. I really did. My bro is a prof of American Lit and one of my sons gave the book to me. But I only could read so much about his bodily fluids dripping and seeping everywhere. I think it’s a guy’s poem.
I have to confess: I first thought not of Walt Whitman, but Walt Kelly; the exclamation sounds like something that might issue from Albert Alligator or Howland Owl.

“I sound my barbaric yawp…” come on. Even if you don’t read Walt, you did at least watch “Dead Poets Society?”

This is why I always cuss in Tasmanian Devil-speak. All the emotional heft of an F-bomb with (almost) none of the social repercussions!
