Ladies, ladies, keep your wandering leaves off my bark.

I had to look up ‘burk,’ so give the author credit for that.

“Nature is Nature”

But, Banbury, what about putting off the natural man?

The line, thanks to http://www.imdb.com:

“I think of a man, and I take away reason and accountability.”

Too bad Banbury Cross didn’t have as good writers as Jack Nicholson–he could have been a misogynist with talent.

This is obviously a Hofmann forgery. The bit about salamanders is a dead giveaway.

Reminds me of the line from the Jack Nicholson?Helen Hunt movie As Good as it Gets where Nicholson’s misogynistic Melvin is asked how he writes about women so well. His reply, “Just like a man, only I eliminate reason and free will.” Or words to that effect.

I’ve tried to figure out from the old nursery rhyme why the author would call himself “Banbury Cross.” I suspect it may be that he views the “fine woman…with bells on her toes, and she shall have music wherever she goes” as a silly character to make fun of. And obviously, since I command it to be so, you female ivy-twining ‘ninnies will all fall in rank behind me in agreement. Right?

Hope he’s having a nice time in Hades!
