" Whatever means that Doc employs
I'll quarantine, you betcha boys!"
declares the queen, with regal poise.

" But wait, Miss Nan, your High-Ness please,
of late, there have occurred to me
a spate of words absurd!" says he.

" Observe," says Nan," how he annoys!"
" Such nerve,to treat these things as toys!"
" 'Twould serve him best to stop his noise!"

" No Villanelle do I (here) see. "
" He's ill, and so's his poetry,
a pill is all he'll ever be!"

" Oh beans," Doc said, " this I enjoy !"
" my queen, if I'm a real good boy,
might then a Villanelle or three,
amend this one atrocity?"

Hi Doc!  Got a huge chuckle out of your "Villanella Beans".  I think that you got an "A" for the humor assignment.

I'll be watching for your Villanelle.
