No, eat MY shorts
From Stephen Fry’s The Ode Less Travelled: Why do you bother me? Go to hell! I am your destiny. Can’t you tell? You’re not my father. Eat my shorts. Come to the dark side. Feel the force. As you might have guessed, that isn’t a poem, but a children’s skipping rhyme popular in the eighties. Lines three and four use a trochaic substitution for the dactyl in their second...

Softly resonant haze
In my enduring quest to make up for a lack of musical education, I’m currently reading about Claude Debussy’s Préludes, two ‘books’ of 12 pieces each for solo piano.
