A Drumbeat Gentle Sweeps

Swish swanky subtle,  perception intended (not)

happens so that some folk go on nil, to arrive at a lot!

Oh you, Joe Maverick, the master of intrigue! Two riddles I have tried figuring out...now I read this and athough I've some idea, I know I'll probably get it wrong. Makes me feel stupid (are you happy?:). Actually I was watching TV, until Mr Inquisitive said I should check my email....meaning he wanted my seat. Hope you're having a relaxing evening..wishing you the best! Mikki

Sadly some folk don't handle a lot too good and end up worse than nil, owing. But for those who manage it, good luck to them. Goodonya Joe. Merv

Joe, it's the people who've had "nil" that are most grateful when good things come their way. Quite a thought-provoking couplet! Love, Carolyn
