    Hello all,

    It seems that some of us when seeking guidance run quickly
    to our most familiar domains and consult our well worn
    tomes of wisdom, whether Freudian or Deconstructionist.

    I should perhaps be ashamed to admit that I turn to a somewhat 
    less scholarly, if more enjoyable, work of the eminent doctor
    mentioned in the subject line, entitled "One Fish, Two Fish".
    While omitting what would seem to be an obligatory reference to
    bananas, it still contains such gems as "Today is gone, today
    is done/Tomorrow is another one."

    So in the spirit of a recent posting, I felt inspired to
    present a fragment of a little know work called "Green Ink
    and (you should pardon the expression) Hams".

    all the best,
    Mattis
    

    Green Ink and (you should pardon the expression) Hams

    Red or black, purple or pink
    I smile upon without a wink
    Yet my poor heart begins to sink
    When I see words penned in green ink

    It has a most annoying stink
    Like some noxious, cloying drink
    If only of yourself you think
    Your putrid words deserve green ink
