March is question month

I've been avoiding participating in the "ask me everything" monthlong March memery till now, but it occurs to me this might be a good way to catch on up sonnetry. So if anybody wants to ask me some good, juicy questions—ones that pretty much require discursive answers—I will do my best to give you an honest reply in poetic form. (If the questions/answers are too simple, you may get a limerick or other bit of doggerel.)

Have at it!
