I've no idea who wrote "A Green hunting cap squeezed the top of the fleshy balloon of a head", (First Impressions, THES , July 26) but can I suggest a competition to compose a limerick starting, "A quixotic behemoth from New Orleans"? To make it easier you could permit the Southern pronunciation, "N'awlins".
