Down on Erato (Tune: Down in the Valley)
Down on Erato, 'Rato so low,
Four-letter words and Michel Foucault.
Michel Foucault, love, Michel Foucault,
Four-letter words and Michel Foucault.
Sonnets with f-bombs, sonnets with "pee"--

Love gaucherie, love, love gaucherie,
Formalist poets love gaucherie.

Half of our poems are strictly devout.
Strictly devout, love, strictly devout,
Half of our poems are strictly devout.
Down on Erato, where you can see
Eschatologic scatology.
Scatology, love, scatology,
Eschatologic scatology.
