The Gilbert and Sullivan choice was excellent and brilliantly selected. It was, however, not original poetry. Appreciate your humility but I am certain left that other site agrees your poem is classic and most worthy of the Feathered Pen award.

Here’s an interesting arbitrage:
Let’s take today’s word “badinage”
We won’t mock or scoff it,
We’ll sell it for profit,
And end up with a new word, “Persiflage”.

(That one is mine.)
