                    Ben Jonson and the poet Sylvester had a public rhyming competition. Sylvester said he'd start the ball rolling. Jonson said okay, and the olde pubbe audience was rapt in anticipation. Sylvester declaimed to Jonson:
"My name is Sylvester
And I've slept with your sister."
Rounds of laughter and quaffing of ale. Eyes on Jonson: he smiles.
Jonson stands up, and he himself intones to Sylvester:
"My name is Jonson
And I've slept with your wife."
Sylvester quips:
"That doesn't rhyme."
Jonson rejoins:
"Maybe not, but it's true, I did...."
                "My name is Sylvester
And I've slept with your sister."
