Since we are doing True Confessions I can at last reveal all.

B.D. Colen is a pussy cat; the nicest nicest meekest man you ever meet. 
Unfortunately he has a black lab, Dr. Blacktape, who cannot abide tripe: 
especially when its photography or prose. When Dr. Blacktape sees tripe 
he bites poor little old B.D. on the leg and will not let go until B.D. 
composes a real zinger in reply.

Naturally B.D. is as upset about the state of affairs as some on this 
list are. The dog is a favorite of SWMBO, of whom even the dog is in 
fear of, and so there matters must rest. I myself think pity rather than 
condemnation is in order.

For the more clever amongst us there is a nice way to get around this 
conundrum. Dr. Blacktape does not have an ear for poetry. So when you 
must post tripe, as that is all you have to say, make sure it rhymes 
and, I assure you, all will be well.

Here is a good start:

There once was a grumpy snapper...
