Today I used the word "perchance" in a sentence.

I'd better not be catching Elizabethan Poet disease.

Oh god, the only cure for that is to have your iambic pentameter removed.

But ... but I already had my iambic pentameter removed. I fell on a particularly pointy ode when I was seven. *nods solemnly*

That sounds really painful. And I'll bet the doctor said:

"If you find yourself spouting blank verse
And feel your condition is worse
You know what to do,
Just take two haiku
And in no time your verse will be terse."
