Criticism
---------
i. an Shakespearean?
ii. hope you enjoyed the 'family' reunion - 'non member' absent?
iii. some confusions regarding 'surnames', but ours just gets silly?
La France maintains its exclusivity,
no plans to grow - ten digits for the phone:
some mirth on Gaza's actuality,
it seems the French have not invoked their tone.
We do not know if you can still recall
(When your parents remained a man and wife)
There was a visit, you were still quite small
You knew one as 'the man who licked his knife'.
We like to say 'we go for second best':
for anyone to chase the premiere
would seem to be to aim above the max.
Your city is Marseille, a sailors nest,
and its population - if one is fair -
after Paris, the next, but might things wax?
nb an paean was composed for your nation, and like this verse, was
posted on Usenet, however, unfortunately, it appears that retention only
runs to ten years, and as such, the said verse has been lost to history,
perhaps, along with some others, which may have proven so 'insightful',
that the portions of the Usenet where they were posted were soon after
'ripped down'
