a few weeks ago, the back page of the times book review featured excerpts from
an anthology of bad poetry. one of the poems featured was an 18th century
piece "on viewing the giant cheese". so tp didn't invent this octuple
gloucester that provides the occasion for mason meeting his wife!
since the cheese really existed, i can't help but wonder if anyone is aware of
a historical precedent for the amorous mechanical duck? (not to mention the
learned english dog).
