And who says the folk process is dead? I think it says something almost worthwhile that so many of us have chosen totally different but equally valid models for the parody. [Spock, raising one eyebrow: "Fascinating."]

Here's my presumptuous remix on your Limerick--

A rash politician named Spitzer
Has a squeeze with a rep that just fits her.
He said he was clean,
But he slept with this queen,
And now he's been dissed by Wolf Blitzer.
