None So Vile
-So this guy appointed to lit department at prestigious university.
-But a serpent in the fescue?
-Lunch.
-Harmless enough for most. Even academics.
-Allusion combat. Much out-clevering whilst zapping
the other with the table wit of lit.
-Did our champion acquit himself with valor?
-Mostly, but often his stomach churned going to class.
-Is it a story with this acid end?
-He left for a small college where they really respected his specialty and baked each other casseroles.
-What was his specialty?
-I don't remember.
-Emblematic of the weight of your tale. Of a whole lot, really.
-Oh well, anyway, every profession must have its silly
pseudo-contests.
