Lorick #139:

a misogynist, who brooks no objection,

is impressed by his crafted perfection

this linguist - or sculptor

who shapes or corrects her

ends his story with love - or rejection

But first, we solve #140 - here it is one last time:

take some mud, make the words, and then pray

an autonomous being... or slave?

made a monster by gary

given conscience by terry:

berserker defenders in clay!
