Just setting the bar low, in hopes of encouraging some other efforts...

Ode on a Greasy Shirt

Thou horseman blest to never shovel dung,
Thou strenuous but silent silhouette,
For ever panting, and for ever young,
What mad pursuit is this? Thou'lt never get
Thy charger's silken flanks to budge a thread.
Bold Player, never, never canst thou score.
E'en winning near the goal exceeds thy reach:
Thou'rt ball-less. "Beauty's easily misled,"--
That's all ye need to know, save one thing more,
O attic-destined shirt! I've spilled the bleach.

PS--after trying both &bnsp; (HTML code to insert blank space) and(the UBB tags to place around text to be indented), I must concede defeat and leave the above text unindented. GRRrrrrr! If anyone knows the proper abracadabras, I'd be grateful if you'd post them.
