And we have been moving from poetic to bureaucratic technology.  Allan's 
poems are as bad as Scotland's greatest:

They will one day yet rear him monuments of brass, and weep upon his grave,
Though when he was living they would hardly have give him the price of a 
shave;
But his peerless, priceless “Poetic Gems” will settle once for all
The claim to immortality of William McGonagall.

Mine are worse.  I rarely like the stuff.  Yet we have to beat bureaucracy 
with something!
