Dear Mr. "Maniac"(tm):
=20
The word you were searching for is "epigrams." Much like music, the=20
art of insult demands that "one" hit the exact notes. Otherwise, the song=20
becomes humorous in an unintended way. "Epitaphs" are gravestone inscriptio=
ns;=20
"epigrams" are wise sayings. But don't let the loneliness discourage you. =20=
Keep=20
practicing, and you may become, in time, a decent player. And isn't that wha=
t=20
it's all about?
Your Fellow Fisherman,
Johnny T (Pat. Pending)
