Donovan's brain, by means of insulation material made of plastic and asbestos, is divided into four major parts. Part one is the cerebral right and left hemispheres which are seldom used. Part two is the cerebellum which is seldom used. Part three is the midbrain which is seldom used. Part four is the medulla oblongata which is seldom used also. ((Part five is Tucker, which is seldom used, much to the great glee of all)) This explains why Donovan is in fandom. Donovan's brain may be likened to the central switchboard of an extensive switchboard telephone system, with the telephone operator off duty. Each cerebral himisphere ((or hersisphere)) is divided into four lobes and the government of each maintains strict naval patrol to insure hemisphere-neutrality. ((From brain to naval in one sentence; utterly fornchy)) The cerebellum, above and behind the base of Donovan's brain, coordinates the movements of Donovan's body by modifying the control of the cerebral motor cortex ((shame)) over the muscles that activate the skeleton. Donovan's motor probably burns out when attending a convention, thus causing the actions usually noticeable in Donovan at such public affairs. The medulla ((ah, the medulla)) mainly controls the sympathetic nervous system. Dononvan's medulla makes him an easy touch for preying fan-editors with printing bills to meet. It has been estimated that Nova, the bi-monthly magazine that manages to appear once each year, ((Leap Year)) yet hold all of three hundred buyers without a complaint, has a subscription list composed of fans with overly-activated medullae. Which about sums up my knowledge of Donovan's brain. I would like to meet Donovan sometime. THE NETHER GARDENS -- Frqnk Robinson The nether gardens are filled with riotous blooms That creep along the ground and hang temptingly From the boughs of strong-limbed trees that sway With the rhythm of the wind. The flowers are of such a hue no mortal has ever Seen--rainbows of attractive colors that lure the Ones who linger in the gardens into picking Them for their---shrouds. For beware! The flowers in the nether gardens Were not in Heaven grown nor did they feast on Holy Water--their drink was something of a coarser Grade--a thicker draught. I once knew a mortal who lingered in the gardens Entranced by the sensuous blooms--and when I sought for him on the morrow--there was a new Flower in the gardens--with petals shaped Strangely like the features of his face.
