Now, I've been told this happens, but this is the first time
I've ever experienced it. I'm new to DEC, I've not
acclimated myself to its weird ways, or all
the ins and outs of working here.
So I sent this little song
off to the editor of
DESPERADO, and
while blithely
looking through this
Notesfile, my name flashes
across the screen. 'dat's pretty
weird. I'll have to check my last issue
of DESPERADO... 'cause the guy who sent the
song in...he ain't the editor.
And I'll have to let Steve know about this.
He will go nuts when he finds he's hit the charts.

| I can't, for the life of me (or anyone else for that matter), determine
any method to the madness of the "chorus" section of the ORIGINAL verses.
Each line, usually consisting of two or three syllables, betrays SOME
relationship to the previous, but, whatever else this relationship is,
it is at least obtuse. This is its charm and is something with which
one should not trifle.
Then, along come some neo-Kelleher-mumble-ists, and, while adopting
the original FORM, determine that there IS a discernible pattern to
the chorus lines, and that this pattern makes sense, and, is even
repeatable! I ask you, was this the original intent? Should we permit
this outrage to continue? What would the founder of this beloved verse
form, may he rest in peace, say about this plagiarism?

WHAT?!!! My meter is FLAWLESS!
I *challenge* you to show me where my meter is off (It's OK for
it to be off in the last four lines). If you're right, I'll quack
like a duck.

P.S. Anyway, why should we listen to someone who can't even spell
"John" right? ;-)
