Too ugly for digestion is the mind
Of Paul de Man inordinately blind.
Digesting Derrida no sustenance
Provides but speculative hunger scants.
Too ugly for digestion are Foucault’s
Depraved intents that proved destructive faults.
Assimilating ugliness, more sick
Of Derrida you’ll grow, in thought not quick.

Pro Foucault's rhymes with fire hose. Foucaultian would normally be spelled Foucauldian and rhymes with odeon.

Thank you. It has been a while since I sat in a classroom, like Casca.
I rewrote the line:
Too ugly for digestion are Foucault’s
Depraved intents unedible in prose.

Pro Excellent, I like that! I read a couple of Foucault's books a while ago and found them incredibly difficult to get through...

These couplets are from a long manuscript about the deconstructive jargon, in which a number of scholarly journals require their articles.
Not the sonorous exercise of thought
Pursuing, no concern for sight they’ve taught.

Clever. If only Foucault's rhymed with faults! You could probably squeeze "denes prose" in instead...
