La! An enclosed - villanelle - Petrarchan - madrigal - limerick hybrid,
redolent of Poe's Raven. "sham{-}bling" I like because bling can be made
of electrum or terne (aka tot-killer); I find the portmanteau word
"{qu,gr}easy" unpronouncable, expanded though, it well describes some of
the people one meets at all-night restaurants. Is this part of a longer
paean to the GLunix* operating system?
