THE MASK OF AMONTILLADO
“You are welcome to sample this cask,
Fortunato, but one thing I ask:
Before even a sip
Passes over your lip,
You must put on this surgical mask.”

SEDUCTIO AD ABSURDUM
“Have another madeira, my dear,
Inhibitions will soon disappear,
I will then seize the day,
Standing six feet away,
So you’ve nothing whatever to fear.”
Last week’s limericks
SMILES TO GO
To a thrift store, Frost would go,
See golf clubs on the row
Of sporting goods,
And quip: “Whose woods
These are, I think I know.”
