Two people from fiction_l answered the YA librarian book title stumper a
couple of weeks ago--thank you so much! She must've been impressed too,
because now she's got another stumper that maybe someone will
recognize--see forwarded message below:

Patron memorized this poem many years ago:

"Net thrower and gladiator opposed each other
This kind of fight thrilled the Roman audience
It was gruesome.
It was bloody.
It was scientific."

Any suggestions? We checked Columbia-Granger's World of Poetry CD-ROM,
Granger's print index, bibliomania.com, Poetry Archives [onloine]. Google
and HotBot search engines also came up with nothing. Thanks!
