Medieval scholastics, some Protestants hold,
ponder'd ad finitum, or so I’ve been told,
as to how many angels, their choirs obscure,
can dance on a pinhead. (En fin, they weren’t sure.)
What puzzles me, though, and to ask's only fair,
remains: how many pins (cotter, clothes-, push- or hair-)
can dance – Cakewalk, Moonwalk, Fandango or Fly --
on the head of an angel...? (No djinns need reply.)
