Friday Roundup, in Couplets (Half-Rhyme OK, Sez Laureate)

(Filed under Personal because the line breaks look silly in columns.)
R.I.P., Milton Mazer, beloved head doctor,
Vineyard hero and fiction contributor.
A drink named for Addams is festive and wry;
tastes like “a cold cocktail of hot apple pie.”
Can it be that Pat Byrnes, the Renaissance man,
cartoons and writes musicals? You bet that it can!
Pamuk inspires a photo and essay;
British sex scandals are delightfully messy.
Let the next Mrs. Parker generation begin!
And more moving toasts to both of the Trillins.
