I can't imagine that he would write something that rhymed and not mean
it...or can I? No, I can't. I've been saying "NeBAHKuv" or something close
to it for a while now, since the little poem seems to state the rhyme so
clearly. My friend says it like Sting says it in that aggravating song: I
think because he's protesting arguments about the pronunciation. I can
appreciate that decision.
