A relative sent a wounding message to me, on the occasion of yesterday's flippant post, as follows
'How does this stupidity make people admire Science?'
We felt this harsh and lacking in educational principles. As a riposte here are some definitions from our companion 'Dictionary of Poesy'.

Ode: A debt.
Sonnet: Snot offit.
Metre: A date.
Dacyl: Non-scary pterodactyl.
Consonance: Not vowels.
Paradox: Two dogs.

Iamb : Second part of Cartesian saying.
Pastoral: Beyond words.
