Xenharmonic Poetry?

I'm not sure who he was quoting, but Dave Hill just Emailed me this
little poem:

12 TET's a wobbly warbling bird
That to be shunned needs but be heard
Yet heard too oft, used to her sonic face
We first endure, then pity, then embrace.

Dave Hill, by the way, I would characterize as a rational Just
Intonation fan: JI is his main thing, and he promotes and composes for it,
but he's not a fanatic for it. He realizes that it has weaknesses in
addition to its very clear strengths.
