LOL! I didn't think so because of the first part... a poet I am not. LOL! Glad this one is taking longer to figure out. Hopefully I can make some time later to do more than simply read the clue. Some research is required.
You are so very correct. Somewhere, sometime, this person admitted to the "fault" described in the 2nd part of the clue. The wording is not exact, but the intent is.
As for the 1st part, digging around in the
old posts of a certain forum might give you an idea of who this person could be.
