Robert Behre is one of the most talented and well-rounded men you’ll meet in Charleston. He writes the P&C’s always-illuminating Monday column on architecture and preservation and covers practically everything else as a reporter.

But his hidden talent? Robert is the staff’s undisputed master of light verse and sly wit, and he has been for years.

His latest offerings:

It’s hard to make Spo
Ku about the Memminger
Auditorium

It’s also hard to
make a Spoku about the
Carolina Choc—

Water bottles are
no longer the greenest choice.
Correctly, I thirst.

Get off the damn floor,
Child for whom I just purchased
Expensive ticket

More from Robert…

Freaky blue Buddha
Stares at me from the side door
Could this be George Street?

Charles Wadsworth is so
damn funny. Too bad they have
to play that music

Chamber music won’t
be exactly right without
the Dock Street backdrop

(…)

But at least it will
Be so much easier for
Women to go pee

(…)

What woman you know
Wants to leave when Geoff Nuttall
Is up on the stage?

This year’s festival
needs just one more thing, I think:
more naked dancers

Piccolo art show
paintings are bright and vivid;
sun fades the artists.

Surf the Web for all
your latest Spoleto news.
Circulation ebbs

Janet’s video,
trying out four drinks.
I want her liver!

Music in Time has
a four-hour concert this year.
Put the bullet here

Okay, left, then look
for the big parking garage.
Oh, you are so lost.

Amistad: we can
cheer for the Americans
cuz they weren’t our slaves.

(…)

Is this opera
going to be like the movie
only with singing?

(…)

And no Anthony
Hopkins in a leading role
as John Q. Adams?

No controversy
over art installations.
Menotti is dead.
