Salve Bene

It's a pun; checkout the meaning of decorum applied to classical poetry.

This is my 100th post. Obviously I don't stand comparison with the likes of John Upham and Roger de Coverly, but it does put me in the top 60 on the all time list.

To mark the occasion, I'm reviving this thread:

I read through all their postings
Hoping they would impress
But yet again I found they were
The usual dreadful mess
Perhaps it would be better
If they stuck to playing chess

This is one about me, written by P.R.Davies in 1976, and based on a true story. :)

The Yorkshire Champion, our Tag,
Tried blitzing whilst smoking a fag.
When the going got tough,
He took a big puff.
Quoth he, "That's a bit of a drag".
