Ah, Heya David, I saw that...Ginger & Nutmeg, this is a diverse environment, just ask Mark Pringle, the founder! Just realized they are the Spice Girls...I claim Chili Spice! Dry ink? I'm here for encouragement "what I want, what I really really want...

Heya Anaya, Hard to believe it’s 25 years since the Spice Girls first appeared on our screens, they really were an eclectic bunch, yet complimented each other perfectly, yes indeed I’m all for nuanced harmony myself, just like the soup lol, cheers David

You are indeed the owner of the monoku, David. When I write eighteen stanzas to state my case I marvel at a tale in a single line. Terry

You’re a generous storyteller Terry, you like to entertain us big kids, remember Jackanory, of course you do; I believe an allusive Monoku, can leave about 18 stanzas to the readers imagination lol, cheers David

The UK says, Divorced, beheaded, died...Divorced, beheaded, survived! Christopher, it was Katherine of Aragan, the Spanish wife of Henry--6 wives. Boleyn, she seemed to have changed race???

Heya Anaya, just to clarify, Christopher was alluding to the public outcry over a black actress playing the part of Anne Boleyn, in a mini-series on Tv a couple of years ago, but it made no difference to the end result, they still chopped off her head, cheers David

Indeed Sir History is the one true thing that should be set in stone But Histrionics did you see the Anne Boleyn program on Channel 5 where she seemed to have changed race and creed Good one David

I certainly do remember all the histrionics over a black actress playing the historic character of Anne Boleyn in the mini-series, thanks for pointing that out Christopher, you totally vindicate my Monoku with your comment, cheers David

My new interests are your Monokus of course, Dilly Dally's, poetical genius, and Suzette Richards imagism and Suzette Primes..they are most smashing and refreshing! (DD's from the UK, hence, smashing)

I am so sorry, I was trying to rid of a reply and the whole thing deleted. David you have tailored the Monoku to suit your clever thoughts, a cut above.
