Dear Joe,
Not to put too fine a point on it, but Catullus' "Vivamus, Mea Lesbia" (nothing to do with Sappho, but the prototypical "Gather Ye Rosebuds While Ye May" -- AKA "the kissing poem") -- [aside to Bruce, COULD he be EUPHEMISING, peut-être?] -- also comes off pretty limp-wristed done with the "W" for "V." We used to send it up à la Julia Child with a lisp, pre-P.C. of course. T'were a right wicked youth, but a good'un, eh, Joe?
