Excellent work,Richard.Here is my attempt,joined with nominated anagram :

=
Sir,I have a offer:calculate on piracy,think who loves advanced technique through mnemonics!

I made a change in order of words in my previously

Chopping Carrots -- Adrian H, 22:58:49 11/13/02 Wed

Chopping Carrots
by Jack Cannon

I don't draw the blinds anymore
It's no big deal in itself
It's simply a small part of my drive
to eradicate futile actions
It's a rough calculation
but I figure I've spent over
six months of my life
cleaning the fridge
Nearly a two whole years
chopping carrots
I don't intend to throw away
another moment tuning the television
(practically two entire weeks)
The amount of time people spend
tiling the bathroom is appalling
I caught Mr. Dawson
the man across the street
pruning his petunias only this morning
Perhaps I should drop by
and set him straight
with a ballpark calculation.

Petunia Cultivars
by Harold Dawson

My petunias.
I adore them with unconditional love,
Clipping or picking them.
They not only brighten my outlook on life;
They teach me startling new facts too.
For instance:
Mr. Cannon, who lives opposite
At number thirty-six,
Continually grins at us, staring, bloodshot.
Nibbling carrots while I prune.
His curtains are drawn again,
Perhaps to hide the fool's disgraceful
Smeg-ridden refigerator.
The crackpot is wearing cotton pyjamas
in the daytime. Again.
The bald-headed simpleton claims to waste all his time
writing flippant poems.
I love my purple plants:
That's another fact.
[4005]

"Refigerator" needs fixing. Apart from that, perfect!

This is one case where the reuse of a few keywords is justified IMHO in view of the turnabout treatment, which BTW is excellently done.

[> [Regina = A reign.] Excellent, but not new it seems... [+more] -- Richard G, 16:45:15 11/13/02 Wed

It's well hidden on a pretty obscure page (some whacko who's trying to predict future wars using his own anagram-laced interpretations of Nostradamus), but it's there:

http://members.tripod.com/AlynPtyLtd/nd/ModernWarsPart2.htm

Up to you whether to accept a nom for this one, the 'gram certainly deserves it.

Thanks RG. I'd like the Nom, if that's OK with you and Larry.

I think it'd be well within the spirit of the rules to let this one through. The letter of the rules only goes as far as disallowing 'grams commonly found in books or websites, or in the archives of either Anagrammy or AG - beyond that it's largely up to the nominee.

The spirit of the rules =
Trust her if she polite. :)

Saddam accepts UN resolution. =

Malconduct pause. No disaster.
Nuclear atomics? A sudden stop!
Aims a nuclear scud? Opts to end.
Atomic crusade plans not used.
Don't use our napalms, acids, etc.?
