Vogon poetry requires the Poetry Appreciation Chair replete with the
appropriate restraints.
Anyway, in Quebec, the native cuisine includes poutine which are
recognizable as French Fries only with gravy.
Also, I've not dealt with poetry since I sat through a college poetry
recital which included some woman venting on Sylvia Plath's husband
as abusive and some guy who, a budding Percy the Poet, was glad to be
gay.
I needed the Vogan chair.
