In the eighteenth century
\nthirty-five was deemed to be
\nminimum age for a senator
\nfor only then was one mature
\nseasoned, in fact, senior.<\/p>\n
As I will soon double that age
\nI should in theory be declared
\na double-senator who is
\ndouble mature and double smart
\ndouble- seasoned, in fact,
\ndouble-senior.<\/p>\n
I recently took on the task
\nof posting a poem for comment
\nin zeugma discussion list
\n\u2014 simple, you say.<\/p>\n
Ah, but let me tell you:
\nI had to send it four times
\nto get the indentations to show.
\n(The third does not count
\nbecause I mis-addressed it)
\nHow’s that for a debut?<\/p>\n
Now if I divide the four sendings
\nby my double-smart profile
\ndoes that mean I appear
\nonly twice as stupid
\nas I should?<\/p>\n
