getting text into a gimp photo?

I have a document in OO (a poem), and I'd like to get it into a gimp picture.

I can't think of any way to do that. I can take a screen shot but the document
is longer than will fit on a screen (it's about a screen and a half) and I want it to
look like it's part of the picture (background is the picture of an open, blank book).

I could retype it into a Gimp layer, but, aside from the time involved, Gimp doesn't have the typeface I want.

Any other ways I might get this text to look as though it's a page in a book?

In OO print to a file (postscript or pdf), then open it in GIMP.
