Poetry is not optional.

It is what warms your innermost throat when your breath has been snagging.

    And you, dear OJ, have a way of infusing prose with poetry like no one else!

    You can’t go about knocking the wind out of nearly-30-years-old mothers, okay. Think about our children.
    Do not write out our lives without a spoiler alert, atleast.
    Also, I think you and grimescene should do a book together. Cause and effect. It’d be a superhit.

    Hello hello! I bees visiting the blog for the first time 🙂

    ‘Joy to the world’ started playing the moment i hit the site, without me realizing that it ws from MY comp (am at work currently) and m looking around wondering whose the idiot playing christmas carols before someone very politely pointed out that it was from mine.

    I had alt+tabbed to a work looking page while the site loaded. :):)

    I be going back to my blog and blogrolling you. 🙂

    D: Like rosemary in leek soup? And saffron in bubbling milk?

    M4: I know you’re really just admiring my Choos. C’mon now, ‘fess up.

    grimescene: …says the man who gifted me Neruda. 🙄

    Aunty G: That’s right, Aunty G, you sigh in exasperation at Grimescene and his comment!

    wordjunkie: Oh he’s full of ’em he is.

    dipali: The gag reflex overwhelms me.

    Nino’s Mum: Hah. We’re likelier to make babies than a book together. And if we did, we’d probably use it to swat each other. And who’s almost-30? BAYBEEEEEE!!! 😛

    Serendipity: 😆 You clown, I needed that laugh. And yes, WP is just cooler. 😛

    Nitya: FINE. See if HE hugs your son to giggles. HMPH. 😡
