A useless addendum to my earlier entry:

One of my favorite college professors once shared her favorite limerick in a seminar on 17th century English drama:

There once was a Scot named MacAmeter
Who'd a tool of prodigious diameter.
But it 'twasn't its size
That opened their eyes,
'Twas his rhythm: iambic pentameter.

[insert virtual rimshot here]. Thank you. Thank you very much. I'll be playing here at the Geek House o' Comedy all week.
