NP: 2001/Clarke's Xanadu (Jerk must know about this)

[Smoke Teff]

In reading a little about Xanadu on wikipedia, I find this parody Arthur C.
Clarke wrote about trying to adapt the screenplay. Hadn't seen before,
figured maybe some of y'all hadn't either:

For MGM did Kubrick, StanA stately astrodome decreeWhile Art, the s.f.
writer, ranThrough plots incredible to man,In search of solvency....So
twice five miles of Elstree groundWith sets and props were girdled round...A
savage place! as eerie and enchantedAs ere beneath a flickering arc was
hauntedBy child-star wailing for her demon mother...For months meandering
with a mazy motionThrough stacks of scripts the desperate writer ranThen
reached that plot incredible to manAnd sank, enSCUBA'd in the Indian Ocean.And
midst the tumult Kubrick heard from farAccountants' voices, prophesying war!
