Sonnet from the ill-at-ease.

CalendarLion.jpg

Oh what a tangled web we get
when first we practice to typeset.
And so we read TEX master Knuth
Hoping to Obtain some truth.
Or else we read through the book of Spivak
but end up simply crying Alack!
And then we go and join the TUG
trying to make our process chug.
Beginners know why the rhyme for TEX
is often the frustrated Blecchh.
I can't even get a .dvi file,
and you think TEX to HTML will make me smile?

And yet I know if I abandon the Lion,
With any other package I'll surely be cryin'.

--Joseph Haubrich
