Eric was away from his computer yesterday, and so missed his window of opportunity to return volley on serve.And I prefer to think that Websnark’s torpor is less T.S. Eliot and more William Carlos Williams.

Alas, Websnark seems to be no more. Ended not with a bang, but a whimpr.

Now if Eric had written a sestina about Mell's top-secret mission, it would have been "The Snarking Of The Hunt".

I believe this commentary counts as another shot fired in the feedback loop wars, after the long cease fire. Eric Burns has no choice but to respond in kind.

There once was an Eric who snarked
In the sestina form for a lark
And, to augment this feat,
Wrote in iambic feet
(With some amphibrachs for extra marks).
