Harold Ross, The New Yorker’s pere,

holds Anglo tongues lacking in savoir faire.

The only names stored in their chromosomes

are Harry Houdini and Sherlock Holmes.

     But Harold Ross, The New Yorker’s pere,

     And Harold Ross, The New Yorker's pere.
having gall to spare (chutzpah...? More than his share),
inquires of one best-seller (why...? 'Cuz he can!):
"Moby Dick: be he the whale or the man...?"

(More "Harold..." to come: a work in progress)

of (as)salting Steve, an open wound.
