[Gumlegs]

He's more to be pittied than censured.
He's more to be loved than dispised.
He was only a laddie who went on
Catastrophism's path, ill-advised.
Do not scorn him with words fierce and bitter.
Do not laugh at his shame and downfall.
For a moment just stop and consider.
Velikovsky's the cause of it all.

Your eloquence is reminiscent of the great verse of John Greenleaf Whittier, author of such memorable favorites as "The Barefoot Boy" and "The Eternal Goodness."
