    Panache, his past literary efforts long since forgotten wanders aimlessly among his dusty library. The crumbling pages of his stories and verse turning to dust before his very eyes. The faded laurel wreath on his writing desk disintigrates into gray ash, and his past glories iare blown away by a soft breeze.

    He weeps bitter tears at fleeting fame and forgotten efforts.

    The tastes of the audiences are fickle, we pontificators of verbose wordage must keep the big picture in mind, when is the next gin & tonic coming?

    Now Jamie is a wordsmith; his mother’s pride and joy
    With sacks of rhyming couplets all ready to deploy
    He is the Poet Laureate, he’s nothing here to fear
    From any strolling player that should be passing here.
    He gives us poems and sonnets, though none of them for cash
    While in his kilt resplendent and done with great panache
