Two favourites from L Sprague de Camp for #WorldPoetryDay

[lproven]

The wonderful L Sprague de Camp was a great early figure not only of SF itself but also of its history and criticism. His 1978 collection The Best of L. Sprague de Camp contained two poems that I loved so much that I committed them to memory.

Wonderful pair of poems. Not just funny, but with proper scansion.

Thanks for the comment!

Yes indeed, and some very clever choice of words to achieve that scansion and rhyme, I thought.
