A translated verse from a 900 year old Indian treatise on Hatha Yoga.
The Guru said, "It's pernicious,"
"I choose a moment auspicious,"
"To stand on my head."
He fell down and said,
"Looking up skirts' injudicious."

Wrong thread, Jazz - an exposé of a politician's lies belongs in the oxymorons thread, since "honest politician" is the biggest oxymoron of them all.

fun verse? from Oscar Wilde's 'Ave Imperatrix' Where are the brave, the strong, the fleet? Where is our English chivalry? Wild grasses are their burial-sheet, And sobbing waves their threnody.

In reply to:

Fun verse indeed! "Thy micturations are to me as plurdled gabbleblotchits on a lurgid bee."
I have always liked the word "threnody." I wonder how high its score would be on that euphony scale mentioned somewhere hereabouts.
