O tempora! O mores!
First we descend to the gutter, then to battling limericks! What has this distinguished company come to?
Well, on second thought, I'm fond of a good laugh and it certainly beats some of our other carryings on. Go to it all ye poetasters!

Bing, a bit of advice from Ogden Nash (whose poem's title is my subject-line above): Candy Is dandy, But liquor Is quicker.
Candi may be a bit of a dandy But if liquor made him quicker -- oh my poor ticker.

It is a rare and marvelous thing to be a latinate criticaster. But I, unfortunately, am no unerring polylingual.
