I once had a brief altercation
With a beggar at Waterloo station,
Because the ingrate
Sneered: "Insipid stuff, mate!"
At my cold cappuccino oblation.

ACHILLES' HEEL
PRONUNCIATION: (uh-KIL-eez heel)
MEANING: noun: A seemingly small but critical weakness in an otherwise strong position.
ETYMOLOGY: After Achilles, a hero in the Greek mythology. When Achilles was a baby, his mother Thetis dipped him into the magical river Styx to make him invincible. She held him by the heel which remained untouched by the water and became his weak point. He was killed when the Trojan prince Paris shot an arrow that pierced his one vulnerable spot: his heel. After him, the tendon in the lower back of the ankle is also known as the Achilles tendon. Earliest documented use: 1705.
NOTES: ...The actor Brad Pitt played Achilles in the 2004 film Troy and tore his left Achilles tendon during production. Talk about taking a role seriously!

Andrew Lloyd Webber has
Mastered the method of
Writing hit musicals
Time after time.
Some critics scorn his tunes'
Accessibility;
Bernstein and Sondheim are
Deemed more sublime.
