Kudu have made a worse pun?
I did once tell someone that his style reminded me of Yeats -- it was a good poem and I enjoyed it.
His reply was less than gracious.
"I don't remind anyone of anyone else. I am an individual. I don't write like some Irish faggot."
Needless to say, I didn't bother going back to read any more of his "individuality".
It could be worse
