Tanya, Two Ways
Goreyesque # 1
A certain young person named Tanya,
exploring the wilds of España,
while fording the river
she called "Gwoddle Quiver,"
was devoured by a school of piranha.
Goreyesque # 2
A certain young person named Tanya,
exploring the wilds of España
in the footsteps of Hannibal,
through the Valley of Cannibals,
was transformed to a pan of lasagna.

In Memoriam
No, I'm not picking on anyone named Tanya in particular. Really, it's all about the rhyme.
On this Lammas Eve, as the harvest begins, we contemplate the mysteries of eating, and being eaten.
