"Pardon me. When is the next available tee-off time? And by the way, would you like to purchase online a mugshot enhanced souvenir?"  

Author's Note: Astute readers will have noticed that this extended verse, with seven lines, fulfils the criteria for being an "external limerrhoid". Click HERE to enjoy a post that explains and exemplifies this intriguing poetic variant. 



Author's Note:
oakum: naval term for a caulking material prepared by impregnating old unravelled ropes with tar
locum (tenens): Latin loanword for a replacement or substitute for a vacationing professional (doctor, dentist or lawyer)

hokum: a term of disparagement for misguided proposals or ideas, akin to gobbledegook and its lexicographic collaborators

Almost three years after the event, in August 2023, it was promised that there would be released "irrefutable" and "overwhelming" evidence of widespread fraud in the 2020 American presidential election. The promise, made amidst a welter of criminal indictments, was quickly withdrawn.





Author's Note: In 2023, the US is looking forward to televized trials of certain national figures. Television cameras are not allowed in trials in the federal system, and one has to rely on the renderings by artists; certain states, e.g. Georgia, do allow the transmission from the courtroom; currently, an important process related to the overturning of state election laws is pending. One hopes that, in that circumstance, each member of the public can easily cut through the veneer of righteousness conveyed by persons whose careers have been built on longstanding deception.
