Okay, Senex. Here's my witty rejoinder to your post: Senex Caecilius, so supercilious, Thought he could shorten my Middle one day. Gods ithyphallic are Sometimes quite bilious, And get offended when Wrongly you pray. Senex, you can't ignore Just what this scythe is for; I shorten middles, too, In my own way. So, old Caecilius, Be more punctilious When you address the gods; Watch what you say. (okay, maybe not so witty, but I tried. The scythe, of course, is one of Priapus' other instruments. And, of course, this DD could be considered a loose translation from the Priapea: E longo Priapum qui me fecere Priapo Efficiam, media sint quoque parte breves.)
