The title of my poem was inadvertantly changed by an unforeseeable typing error. Instead of the published title "A Warning to Mr. Mincemeat", the correct title should have been "A Warning to Mr. Minkmeat". Clearly Mr. Mincemeat was not the target of that scabrous bit of doggerel and any negative inferences about himself or his mother were not intended, regardless of their accuracy. I apologize to Mr. Mincemeat for confusing him and offer to explain the symbolism for him and any others who seem pathologically incapable of comprehending the subtle nuances of good verse. Once again, my sincerest apologies. Keep up the good work!! *<--- chuck --->* cbosgd!ccf BTL Columbus
