Burma Sauce! Like Burma Shave, but with more burning. Blame this one on Schwern

Landed, fresh and steaming, in my inbox just a few minutes ago:



Consider my day Totally Made.

I vote a Burma Shave-style doggerel contest! Winner, as judged by me, gets...my good opinion forever. And also a pie, if you live close enough to me or are willing to visit so that pie-to-piehole delivery logistics won't become too complicated or expensive.

Here's one I came up with--a tribute to eel porn:

The eels go where?
I dared to ask
I must endure
This slip'ry task
Burma Sauce

I cannot and will not take credit for this one.

DON'T BE STUPID
BE A SMARTY
WON'T YOU JOIN
THE NAZI PARTY
BURMA SHAVE

The only "sauce"
Dare I give father
Because I have
No mom to bother
Burma Sauce

Would it seem
At all myopic
To ask
If the task
Has a theme
Or topic?

Licentious works
Are given favor
That impart saucy
Burma flavor

Their HP Sauce
Had gotten boring
So H.M.'s Army
Went exploring
Burma Sauce

When other sauces come your way
grab your tummy and shout "oy vey!"
There's only one condiment that's boss
Burma Sauce!

If to our house
You can soon swerve,
Housewarming party!
We will not serve
Burma Sauce.

That is to say: I tried to e-mail you, but it bounced, and then I asked Kate to ask you but I haven't heard back from either, so I don't know if that worked. But: my house is having a housewarming party from 7-10 PM tonight, there will be delicious homemade food and pleasant company, and you should come to add to the latter (or the former, if you like). Bring folks if you like and think they'd like us.

I just want you to know

Over the past few months I have slowly accumulated approximately one hundred lines of rhyming dimeter about the sex life of eels, but I'm stuck on the actual sex scene and keep writing stuff around it.

But now I know a lot about eels.

I suppose I should thank you. :)

Oh my god.

Any chance you'll e-mail that to me? It sounds AMAZING.

I just sent you the contents of the file I'm editing it in, disorganized line-scraps and all. :)
