[alt.prose] To J. Smith

mjfm@otter.hpl.hp.com (Miranda Mowbray) (01/18/90)

        John Smith, in search of rhyme and scansion, calls
	Across the ocean, `Have you got no balls?'
	Mr. Zuroski, reading this, replies
	That John Smith's manhood is of tiny size.
	I cannot see what gonads have to do
	With writing verse which rhymes and scans.  Can you?
	Stop being sexist, chaps, and raise the tone -
	Good rhymes do not require testosterone.

PS. Before you two resume your tiffing,
Do read Scott Fisher's rhyme.  It's rather spiffing.
