Once upon a midnight dreary, Ross G pondered, weak and weary
Whether Ross D might consider him a dry and awful bore—
If he proposed some gentle chatting, sprinkled with some caveating,
A pod with almost no formatting, on an essay he’d adored.
“’Tis about unity of effect in learning design,” he muttered, “by Edgar Allan Poe—
Only this and nothing more.”
We discuss:
