    Once when I was a teenager,
    I decided to read something
    about King Arthur instead of
    all those watered down
    echoes in fantasy novels.

    I picked up a book that I'd
    heard recommended many
    times: "The Once and Future
    King" by T.H. White.


            I only made it through
            the first few pages:
            broad satire, once         What does it mean
            again, and decidely        when satires are 
            unfunny.                   more common than 
                                       examples of the 
                                       thing satirized?      

            Perhaps I need to             e.g. Bond Spoofs
            read the Mallory
            version...
