A young man named Lee
Composed a poem about mortality.
It is not very long,
But, his talent being strong,
That verse long outlasted Lee.

Can One Copyright A Phrase
An interesting piece in “The Guardian” concerning a dispute about the copyrighting of the phrase “100% that Bitch”.
I must confess to being unfamiliar with the work of either of the artists involved in this dispute (Mina Lioness and Lizzo), but perhaps some of my younger readers are.

An Author’s Response to a Copyright Infringer
When a young lady named White
Said, “I don’t believe in copyright”,
I stole her purse,
Which made her curse,
But me, I think its right!
Sometimes I Am Caught
Sometimes I am caught
In the midst of thought
By the wind, who laughs at me,
And all I pretend to be
When A Young Lady Named Balinda
When a young lady named Balinda
Met a firey gentleman through Tinder,
She thought something was quite wrong
As he had horns very long,
Which frightened that young lady Balinda!
When A Young Man Named Nick
When a young man named Nick
Threatened me with his walking stick,
I said, “do you happen to know
The boxer known as big, bad Jo?”,
At which Nick dropped his stick!
When The Wife of a Man Named Ed
When the wife of a man named Ed
Found a strange girls shoes under their bed
She said, with a sigh
“I really don’t know why
You must insist on wearing those stilettos, Ed!”.
A Young Lady Whose Name Was Wood
A young lady whose name was Wood
Said, “I shall always be very good,
But, whilst out walking one day
In a field of sweet hay,
She did what she never should!
A Young Lady Whose Name Was Claire
A young lady whose name was Claire
Had beautiful, long brown hair,
But when it did rain
She cried out in pain,
As her hair it turned quite fair!
