Two poems enter, one poem leaves...

The only cure for your condition is to blast the two poems out with a third, more powerful meme.

I recommend the following, also by Housman. As sherbert cleanses the palate, so does it burnish the mind:

Oh, when I was in love with you,
Then I was clean and brave,
And miles around the wonder grew
How well did I behave.

And now the fancy passes by,
And nothing will remain,
And miles around they'll say that I
Am quite myself again.

P.S. If you're the same X.G. who posted the bits on skill maneuvers in GURPS, thanks. Nifty, 'twas.
