| A form of poetry mundane in origin but now widespread in fandom since Art Rapp's introduction of them. They are quatrains, almost always beginning with the words "Little Willy (-ie)..." and going on to celebrate some grisly domestic tragedy, as in the specimen at bottom. They became endemic in 1953 and are still found intermittently, especially in the APAs. |
