Dropping last week's haiku obsession, the metacartoonist returns to familiar surroundings with Seussian rhyme. In so doing, he contrasts
the austerity of Oriental conceptualizations of elegance and beauty with the bawdy-house rollicking of plebian Western wordsmithing; the
result, as always, radiates that ineffable Toonbots je ne sais quoi, without which all our lives would be that much flatter.
