Po'try

Even a man who is pure in heart

and says his prayers by night

may become a wolf when the wolfbane blooms

and the autumn moon is bright.

                                              --- "The Wolf Man" (1940)

When the wolfbane blooms emit perfume

and the moon is full and bright

Even a man who is pure in heart

can turn to a wolf by night.

                             --- "The Curse of Aquinaldo"  (student film c1950)

When the summer sun

hides in the sky

behind the satellite

the reception tends to go awry

and have to wait you might.

                                                         --- Yoda

The Dish manual warns of this phenomenon which can occur any hot afternoon, and last for an unspecified length of time.  I'm glad I'm not paying for it.
