Dan Stride has purchased a copy of The Bovadium Fragments by J.R.R. Tolkien, and saved me $26.99. I won’t be buying one, even though I love that kind of humor, which I now know is called “macaronic”. When I encountered Godley’s poem “The Motor Bus” about 50 years ago, I laughed my fool head off. But this poem will always be my favorite, not least because it proves that sort of erudition isn’t the sole possession of the English: Malum Opus.

I do still describe myself as a “recovering New Englander.”

Reality is very strange.
