... is me, In Middle English, all at sea, Self-pity and the Lesser Key. I have been blind, And unkind, And stupid. But what about you, Cupid? Where have you been? Worrying about bits and bytes? Locking up the lippy whites? Well I watched the news last night, Used my ears and not my sight. Oh Jess! What a mess! Did they take you to one side? Say "Here's your arsenic, open wide"? While one side pushes the other shoves? No finger prints - they're wearing gLOVEs? I'm done. I'm going back to being dumb. I've fallen off my broken perch And I'll be as quiet as a Janeite In Godmersham Church. Good bye and good luck, I'll miss that Irish... gentle man.

The broad-faced, stuffy uncle...
