The general public maintains a stereotypical opinion of bikers as uncouth ignoramuses whose IQs rarely achieve, let alone exceed, the pitiful RWHP of a stock Hardly.  Contrary to this image, we 'Maggots are highly intelligent, witty individuals, knowledgeable on an astoundingly wide range of subjects and exceptionally well read.  This last trait reveals itself in a variety of ways, from Russell Stephan's wonderfully expressive trip reports to ZimBob's dry-as-a-bone one-liners.  But perhaps 'Maggots reach the dizziest literary heights when they undertake to parody the classics.  Here then are some recent examples of this art form:

	The Ride Before Christmas (with apologies to Clement Moore)
	Trees (with apologies to Joyce Kilmer)
	Yes, Virginia, there is a Milt (with apologies to Francis P. Church)
	In the beginning ... (with apologies to the Bible)
	Maggots vs. maggots (no apologies necessary)
	(Goin' to) Two Wheels Only (with apologies to Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller)
	List Etiquette (with apologies to Emily Post?)
