Go, Joe! Fine fun quatrains. I possibly didn't 'get' all the satirical
references, being an innocent Aussie, but the rhythms and rhymes
entertained me fine - like a Dylan talking blues, or Tweeter and the
Monkey Man. My favourite rhyme would have to be -
I had brought along "Ulysses."
Joyce was always such a charmer.
But I lounged outside in that Texas breeze
Reading Philip Jose Farmer.
Hee hee ...
Are these all going in a MS, Joe?
