I couldn’t resist the temptation of delivering up a bite sized poem as the punchline, thank you so much Line, for the placement, cheers David

Good to see you back in one piece Tom, I suppose they are our babies, even the dark ones, cheers David

LOL David. Sometimes after completing a challenging write, it feels as if I've delivered quadruplets after 30 hours of labor! You have a feisty muse, but I admire her stand. I appreciate your humor.

Thank you Jenna, you certainly have delivered some epic writes here on the soup, I tend to keep them succinct as I have an expedient muse, would make a terrible midwife, cheers David

David, this is adorable and really creative. I found myself enjoying every aspect of it, but the fina3rd and 4th verses, in particular, stood out to me. Good luck in the contest.

Thank you Lasaad, I’m steering clear of the heavy work, and trying to lighten the mood for a few days anyway, so was never going to be a big delivery, again thank you for stopping by, cheers David

Ha, good one David. And don’t worry, if something seems wrong. Just push a bit harder; that’s a dypthong!

Not a chance Jeff, I’m pushing my luck as it is, with a fickle muse, 6 lines is a big enough package in itself, cheers David
