Vaclav Havel, man in Czech
His Velvet Gambit unnegated
But let's rattle our keys
In memory, please,
For Alex Dubcek, the man Czech mated

I don't think Globular Leader Bill reads anything much more complicated
than money or a menu, but Muammar "Say it--don't spray it" Khaddaffi has
been showing signs of a keen appreciation of the genre lately.

Wonder what _his_ bhang intake is...?
