    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    An ODE? Of fewer lines than a sonnet? With mixed meter and limping scansion? For shame.....

    Anyway, here's a sonnet.


    The Jester and Le Cowboy

    His words, sharper still than any epee
    Witty, yet also gentle and gentile
    Laugh author, yet only slightly outre
    His jests piquant, but at his core tranquil

    Our cher Louis, in two tongues may play
    Champion of "King's" and L'Academie
    Our cher Louis, "all in jest" some may say
    But wit's the tool of Le Bard de Paris

    Yet stranger still the connection -- la chaine
    Entre Louis and Strike -- two now one pair?
    Knitting the Rio Brazos with La Seine
    Entre Texas and France -- that's just not fair!

    Never and always, jamais et toujours
    We're stuck with them both, so en garde et encore!
    "The only way that has ever been discovered to have a lot of people cooperate together voluntarily is through the free market. And that's why it's so essential to preserving individual freedom.” -- Milton Friedman

    "The urge to save humanity is almost always a false front for the urge to rule." -- H. L. Mencken

    In our midst, we had a poet.

    All this time, we did not know it.

    He didn't make any spelling errors either. Must be that college learning is starting to sink in.

    There once was an Orgah named Louis,
    Exuding panache for all to see,
    Although he came from France,
    He got into Strike's pants,
    And the man from Texas says, Oui Oui!
