Greatly. Incredibly. Positively. Unmistakably. Unsurpassably (which isn't a real word). Insurmountably. Undeniably. Satisfactorially. Though in this case insatiably, for I still don't know what the crocodile has for dinner.

I was hoping you'd catch my reference to 'The Elephant's Child'.
'So he said to the Bi-Coloured Python Rock-Snake, "My entire family has spanked me on account of my 'satiable curiosity, and I still don't know what the crocodile has for dinner."'
I did alter that a bit, and I did go from memory, but yes, 'satiable curiosity. Similar to what I'm feeling right now as I wonder, 'Why the heck didn't you get my reference?!?'

Sorry?!!!! *ashamed* Although, English poets aren't my strong point, you know that. If I were to recite Moliere to you, would you get the reference immediately?

Kipling isn't a poet! Although, the idea of a Bi-Coloured-Python-Rock-Snake with a scalesome, flailsome, tail does have a poetic ring to it... but still! And if I'd lived in France as long as you've lived in the US, I would!

First of all, he is British. So... Living in the US wouldn't make me know him.
Second of all, I looked up that story, and I would call it a short story, but it is very poetic, so I went with poet. Still. One can be both a poet and a writer, you know.

Yes, yes, but British authors are popular here too.
I must be lending you my book of Kipling stories....
Like Poe.

Well,in France at least, Kipling is relatively invisible-ish. -_- Poe isn't. Besides, Poe is my favorite poet/author/satirist/etc. So if you'd quoted him, I'd have known the reference.
But if you lend me Kipling's book, I'll read it; I've already started reading a few of his stories and loved them.
