that I'm beginning to lapse too close -- but then you don't really want
to hear any of this, do you?

*** Comments from MIGHT AS WELL; CAN'T DANCE:
Oh no, please - do go on!
I think I'm beginning to see what you mean.
Correct me if I'm wrong (in a gentle way, of course. Hair-tousling,
for example, as opposed to goosing), but if I understand you correctly
you are pleading for help, yes (and certainly nothing like a full body

I once had a similar oh, affliction when I ran the Swamp Gas For
President campaign back in that damnable year The Powers That (Still)
Be elected President that chattering magpie of a snook, Ronald Wilson
Reagan. I screamed until I was hoarse (My God!) look at his name, for

loose. Setting you free. Fly away now, little titbird. And
remember
Only YOU Can Prevent Forest Fires
(I wonder how many delusions of grandeur THAT slogan begat? But I
digress from my appointed leave-taking. Sod off now, there's a good
filthy bugger.)
In Deepest Admiration Of Your Pompous Loquacity
