A colleague of mine has established an amusing website featuring his own light verse, wittily illustrated.

You might especially enjoy his "Moderate Drinking Song" complete with tune (via midi) so you can sing along.

Scott Emmons isn't a Spherian yet, but if you visit his website and like what you see, you can invite him.

Some cute stuff. I hope you persuade him to stop by. I enjoyed the following Epitaph he wrote:

Alas for young Professor Black!
His sudden death was such a shame.
He published like a maniac,
And yet he perished all the same.

Funny stuff. Thanks, Barbara.

I'm curious to know more about Mr. Emmonds. How do you know him?

Hehe, nice link Barbara.

The short piece 'Willy-nilly' in the 'Love and Sex' link had me laughing my butt off.

Thanks.

Hilarious! Bookmarked, for sure! Check out Emmons' parodies. "Once upon a weekend dreary, while I brooded, eyeballs bleary,...[etc.]"--from Wait, There's More!

All best,
Patricia
