When Anu sent out an AWADmail a week or two back it included a rather po-faced email from a Global Brand Manager at the Gallup poll organisation. I forgot to post this here, in addition to sending to Anu (he chuckled!) ~ but even if no longer very topical, knowing how much some of us love poetisers I thought I'd better drop it in for your delectation ;)
It’s a Global Brand Manager’s nark
That Gallup®’s a registered mark
Shall we take a quick poll ~
A: assign him a hole?
B: just leave him alone in the dark?

Pretty good, Mav. For one thing, it scans! Refreshing change.

I am relieved to learn that you don't have anything against "poesy" or limericks in general, ASp.
I will take instruction from Maverick's very clever, not to mention perfectly scanable limerick in the hope that one of mine might win your favor in the future.

--- and yours as well, etaoin.
For those newcomers who might be confused, etaoin's censure was not directed at Maverick's limerick.
I apologize for the distraction, Maverick. It does not do justice to your talent.

"Assign him a hole...", said the Carpie
Whose behavior the rest of us copy
"You're paranoid to think
That a Carpie could sink
So low. Twat's the matter, Plutarchi?"
How does that scan, I wonder? :)
