I want to warn everyone to respect the CalPig's ownership rights to this poetry.
You may feel free to read the poem for your personal enjoyment.
You may even read it aloud to friends, groups of friends, or the general public.
For example, at PTA meetings, moonbat "townhall" meetings, bowling banquets, church functions, business meetings, and wedding receptions, you may find yourself with a turn at a live microphone.
In those situations, a recitation of "The Aching Seed" would become a lasting memory for everyone in attendance.
You may NOT charge friends or others an admission fee to hear the reading, though you may accept voluntary love offerings up to the amount of your expenses.
