 * What happened there? An explanation.


 * The comments get fatter, not thinner,
 * For they remind us all of Snowspinner.
 * He, upon a time, offered the moteity
 * Of a thing called "semi-policy"
 * And argued, both loud and long,
 * That an insult would sound a gong
 * And straight 'way summon the guards
 * To remove it hence, and leave in shards
 * The discussion once found there.
 * Many complained and thicken'd the air
 * With laments, ruth, and some things worse,
 * For the matter made some of them curse!


 * Their words disappear'd from view,         }
 * Which made them their oaths renew,         }
 * And all was yellow and blackest bile too.  }
 * And some who questioned then and some who now }
 * Might be supposed to have a Holy Cow         }
 * Upon the field still grazing to lough         }
 * When she the prod on her soft flanks has stuck
 * And to be missed most sorely when struck.
