"In Memory of GHWB" at Asses of Parnassus
Those who oppose speaking ill of the dead may choose, I suppose, to leave this one unread.

Chris, I like it, but there is a typo in L1: "that" instead of "than."

I enjoyed your poem, Chris. The typos didn't detract from my pleasure.

The good side of online publication is that it is a lot easier to correct a typo on it than in print publications.

The same typo repeated twice in eight lines. Yeah, I'm a pro. I've emailed Brooke to apologize for my carelessness, and he has made the necessary fixes. Thanks, Susan and Roger, for pointing out the problem. And thanks to both of you plus Martin for reading.

It is a fairly unusual epigram that manages to be unusually fair, yet without less witty. Much enjoyed. Congratulations!
