I referred a non-Spherean friend to the thread, and she posted back in short order the following:

She Walks in Beauty (Sometimes)

Lord Byron was certainly right
comparing her beauty to night.
.....I heard him remark
....."She's fine in the dark,
but by daylight she gives me a fright."

and while this isn't really a summary of a poem, it is pretty much in the same spirit:

Words, Words, Words

Some words are a pleasure to say,
like "mulch" and "Guantanamo Bay."
.....But forget all the rest;
.....the one I like best
is "Edna St. Vincent Millay."
