Good poem. But I think we all know the secret deep and inscrutible name is Dave.

I personally feel really good about BoingBoing as a verb. Any noun can be verbed.

(Taken from "Asparagus, The Theatre Cat)

Dave is the man with the technical skill.
His surname, as written with ball-point or quill,
Is actually Davenport -- but we can save
Half a second addressing him simply as "Dave".

(more later ... pressed for time this morning)

Back in the day, It took me far too long to find out what the original of this poem was.

I don't know how I feel about BoingBoing as a verb.
