Ceteris paribus
De re and de dicto
Are rarely distinguished ... Are spoken
Are not distinguished
In common sense speech
Ambiguity tolerance,

Higgledy piggledy
Stephanie Quackenbush
Met a young student
On her way to lunch

Philosophers grumble
And:programmers mumble
But 
And go to the beach
With fun on the beach

Ceteris paribus
de re and de dicto
are the same in the syntax
of common sense speech
Referential opacity
unknown to the laity
must be respected
philosophers teach

Higgledby piggledy
Cannonball Adderley
Burst on the scene
Like a bolt
From the blues
His popularity
Co-incidentally
Left me with more time
For romance and booze.
