it doesn't really add to the original couplets do you think?
Quite true, Of Troy.
My McCouplet does nothing to honor the enduring charm of the original, nor does it do anything to bring that charm back to us.
You and I have always agreed about the lamentable loss of poetry in the lives of the present generation of students.
They don't know what they're missing, and that is truly a pity.
And it's a loss to future generations, as well.
P.S. Furthermore my ditty containing the line "Nowadays beggars take horse in the skies" does an injustice to the plight of the poor who have little enough money for bus fare, never mind airfare. I'm sorry now I wrote it.
Your perspective gave me some valuable after-thought on my over-hasty composition. Thank you. [See Revision]
