Why can't he write as others do,
Why normal words does he eschew?
He must be touched up in the head,
Based upon his words I've read.
Unenlightened and benighted,
Inauspiciously shortsighted.
I fear he's incapacious,
At the very least, he's fatuous.
But to one point, you must agree,
At least he rhymes, to a tolerable degree.

I think this is a clever and unique arrangement of words, Tim. Not bad in my book.

Hear! Hear! You do rhyme to a tolerable degree.

Far more than tolerable, Tim! *S* Perhaps you were painting on a cloudy day? *S*

ROFL @ Mysteria... you're so bad... and so good at being bad! LOL
