Feel free to post whatever you want.  Scott was not referring to your
post, he was just making sure that I didn't mistake his repost of the
English spelling joke for an original poem of his, and go and do
something silly like put it up on the site and attribute it to him.
I've been known to do that kind of thing in a newspoetry-induced
stupor (or even in a newspoetry-induced-stupor-induced torpor, or even
in a newspoetry-induced-stupor-induced-torpor-induced-languor).  Your
post and its ilk are very much welcome here! :)
