Pan without Cake
The talking birds dance backwards without showing off.
I can remember old Fred by his cough.
(Fred Dupee, wise in his age, definitely worth watching at 60.
Merce at the end better than anybody to watch.
Pablo at the end none such and almost never a botch.
Hugh MacDiarmid drinking in Scots his Scotch.
Rodin scampering to Cambodia at seventy.
Be kind to the old dog whose name is whiskey.)

Wait a second!
Being not worth watching leaves more time for reading, writing, revising, and feeding the ducks.
I advise it.
