  1. Bullwinkle's Moonstruck Alter-Ego

    There once was a mysterious poster named Werehatrack, Whose motto may have been from-the-back-I-
    attack. Under the full moon's altar he breaks loose, Vaulting past peletons in the shape of a were-
    moose, And leaves no clues here for us all to back-track.

    (For all that I know, it's impossible to rustle up a good rhyme for "werehatrack," much less to
    uncover his real, true, seldom-guessed name.)

    (This Friday is about as close as possible to the full moon.)

    (Secret decoder rings available upon request. It's not my fault if your guess is wrong. Oh, hell,
    let's just re-print it properly and call a halt . . . )

    Dear Werehatrack,

    lUckily i have a poetic license to vAULT over that orthorgraphic fAULT.

    besides, you woUldn't want me to reveal everything, woUld yoU? it woUld be an assAULT on
    common decency.

    let Us not pALTer with non-essential vowels. trying to restrain inspiration would be like trying to
    hALTeR a were-moose.

    eeek!

    Next week: Jim Beam

    Due to circumstances entirely within my control, it's actually gonna be someone else.

    "Jim Beam" ain't dead or as hard to rhyme as "Whistler," but I'm not gonna risk ending up like
    Emmeline Grangerford, whose sad story and sample poetry may be found below.

    Carl Fogel

    ODE TO STEPHEN DOWLING BOTS, DEC'D

    And did young Stephen sicken, And did young Stephen die? And did the sad hearts thicken, And did the
    mourners cry?

    No; such was not the fate of Young Stephen Dowling Bots; Though sad hearts round him thickened,
    'Twas not from sickness' shots.

    No whooping-cough did rack his frame, Nor measles drear with spots; Not these impaired the sacred
    name Of Stephen Dowling Bots.

    Despised love struck not with woe That head of curly knots, Nor stomach troubles laid him low, Young
    Stephen Dowling Bots.

    O no. Then list with tearful eye, Whilst I his fate do tell. His soul did from this cold world fly
    By falling down a well.

    They got him out and emptied him; Alas it was too late; His spirit was gone for to sport aloft In
    the realms of the good and great.

    If Emmeline Grangerford could make poetry like that before she was fourteen, there ain't no telling
    what she could a done by and by. Buck said she could rattle off poetry like nothing. She didn't ever
    have to stop to think. He said she would slap down a line, and if she couldn't find anything to
    rhyme with it would just scratch it out and slap down another one, and go ahead.

    She warn't particular; she could write about anything you choose to give her to write about just so
    it was sadful. Every time a man died, or a woman died, or a child died, she would be on hand with
    her "tribute" before he was cold. She called them tributes.

    The neighbors said it was the doctor first, then Emmeline, then the undertaker--the undertaker never
    got in ahead of Emmeline but once, and then she hung fire on a rhyme for the dead person's name,
    which was Whistler. She warn't ever the same after that; she never complained, but she kinder pined
    away and did not live long.

    --"Huckleberry Finn"

    While a different style, the coherence is nearly the same as
    g.daniels.

    Then again, it could be the medication...expiration date exactly one year ago. I habb a cobe.
