[MD] kill all intellectual patterns

[MarshaV]

Hi Horse,

I consider poetry to represent the Code of Art in a form that can be posted.  I do try to choose poems that represent the MoQ, but of course poetry should not need explicit explaining.  If you would prefer that I do not post such poetry as it is  'irrelevant nonsense', I will stop.
