The Flattered Is the Battered
I hold it quite tattered
To have someone flattered,
All the time, some John mattered:
Such Johns are soon scattered!
Many still call me 'Prof',
Thank God some would just cough,
Saying it in a voice rough
Shows of being The Gruff...
Then failed is flattery
And charged my battery
While I dare mystery
Far from the jittery...
Then, the oft flattered
Is the oft battered.
