David Landrum is free to admire (perhaps a little extravagantly) the "cunts / once" rhyme in the Kennedy
epigram, but it's not original with Kennedy. It appears
in a much better epigram by Robert Frost (possibly the greatest of all rhymers):
God fell in love but once,
Though with the best excuse.
He wasn't fond of cunts--
Not half so much as Zeus.
(Quoting from memory, so maybe slightly inaccurately)
