Re: One of Seymour's poems...

i didn't even get your message regarding hammy! and i guess i could agree with your usage of the word criminally. maybe. :)

michael, i misread yours re criminally. you obviously
are interpreting buddy using the word exactly because
he doesn't own the words. hence my reference to hammy
is uncalled for. sorry.

however, i still think he uses criminally because he
realizes he is killing the poem by offering a prose
paraphrase.
