[with apologies to whoever wrote the classic 50's song, was it Stoller
 and Lieber...?]

Don't know much about Strunk and White,
Wouldn't say that I know how to write,
I'm not sure about the passive voice,
Wouldn't use it if I had a choice,

But I know that if we'd all omit
Hostile comments we pass off as wit
What a wondeful list it would be

all the very best,
Mattis
