McGonagall's Online Gem of the Day: 12/25/04
From "Robert Burns":
Your "Tam O'Shanter" is very fine,
Both funny, racy, and divine,
From John O'Groats to Dumfries
All critics consider it to be a masterpiece,
And, also, you have said the same,
Therefore they are not to blame.
A) "both" is for two things only, Billy m'boy. "funny" + "racy" + "divine" != 2.
B) Blame? Why would blame be assigned if critics liked a poem better than the poet himself? I'm confused.
C) Nobody likes my font. Cry.
