I'd be more than happy too. Unfortunately, though, I have lost the original
attribution for the quote in question, so I will refer to the author as Mandy,
for the purposes of this explanation. Apologies if that is not the correct
name.

Line 1:
>I read and post to this group of which I am a princling,
This is more or less straightforward. In literary terms, Mandy displays her
expertise in ironic exposition, counterbalanced by a meticulously metered
diction. The rhythms evident form a strong undercurrent against the literal
meaning of the words, creating a brilliant tension which acts to heighten the
suspense regarding the contents of the following portions of the message.

Line 2:
> My deemble farthings dwamble
In a poignant and insightful allusion to the hardships of convict Australia ,
Mandy shows us graphically that in many situations common public perceptions
are misleading at best. The bucolic and overly-romanticised view of the
colonial pastoralist, for instance, shows us that economic hardships are often
ignored for a desire not to see on the part of an observer. Borrowing from
Hawthorn, Mandy shows us that the medieval ideas on the farthings monetary
policy should not be taken at face value. Rather, the osioscopic view on
plagmatarism, or more commonly called deembleism, is an anarchistic
dwamble through the netherlands of economic disrest.

>and that in graduate school,
Alone, a meaningless phrase communicating little more than a locative
qualifier. But when coupled with the powerful insight above, and scuplted
subtly by the initial irony, and profound insight into the deconstructionist
attituded currently dominating tertiary institutions. For many years now I
have felt exactly the anguish to which Mandy alludes, but have been unable to
properly transcribe my thoughts into coherent language. It is no sin to play
the role of the vasticular menogist, but do _not_ confuse it with philoso-
phising on the warrants of Freudian values! Mandy has the courage, in
plain English, to show how blatantly discriminatory and counter-productive
our chiding society can become when unchecked.

Line 3:
>no less.
No Less!!! Mandy's eloquence with words will never be paralleled! In two
meager words, neither longer than four letters, the authors succeeds in
undercutting any and all possible counter-reciprocal hypothetical debate.
Bravo!

Line 4:
>So there.
In a dramatic conclusion that any literary great like Shakespeare or Faulkner
would be delighted to be able to emulate, Mandy thrusts home her
afore-explained points with a relevance and a force that none can deny. Far
from leaving herself open to the catcalls and name calling of a jeering
segregationalist society, the author reemphasizes the paramount importance
of post-modern thought, cleverly linked earlier to the intriguing economic
analysis of the socio-political structures of her time.

I would love to delve into such matters further, but realise the restrictions,
practically speaking, placed on this form of discourse. Those wishing to learn
more about intriguing works such as these I urge to pick up a copy of my
latest book, The Poetry Within, available on fine discount bookshelves at the
K-Mart nearest you.

Or, attend my luncheon lecture this Friday at noon at the Boise Ramada Inn,
right next door to Guy Maulin's "I made $200 million in real estate and so can
you!" symposium.

Cheers!
