A jolly christmas may yours be!
I'm sorry bout your tambourine:
I've smashed that bastard thoroughly--
I am so baked I'm slammed-soaring.

Lucky enough to have been able to read this ahead of publication (Feb 26). It is extraordinary, one of his very best works.

Del Toro, and Del Toro, and Del Toro
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded frame;
And all our Frankensteins have lighted fools
The way to boring films.

I'm a joker

Yes: and the poor horse shot in the chest by a cannonball at Toulon.

The decapitated heads, on the other hand, struck me as inadvertently comical, like that character in "Ghosts".
