I feel so utterly, totally, pitifully inadequate.

But I enjoyed both the post and the comments so much that I will lose no sleep over my failure to have acquired a muse.

This inspired me to remember the work of Richard Armour, whose clever rhymes were part of my reading entertainment for years. He said…

Politics, it seems to me,
for years, or all too long,
has been concerned with right or left
instead of right or wrong.

Also the immortal…

Shake and shake
The ketchup bottle.
None’ll come
And then a lot’ll.

I remember reading once how much he hated having written that last one. His series of “It all Started With…” was once all the rage.
Thanks for jogging my memory. I’m now tempted to go looking for some out of print Richard Armour books.

Oh, and your poetry is every bit as good.
But it’s a good thing we both have other skills to fall back on.

True wit is nature to advantage dressâ€™d;
What oft was thought, but neâ€™er so well expressâ€™d.
