#9  Seriously, love your stuff, Dron, especially the prose (which is awfully poetical already). You've pretty much knocked old Naipaul off his dusty perch as my default explainer of things subcontinental. JohnQC, you too. Got that ramshackle rhythm that can't be faked (not by me, anyway). Didn't get it at first, but when I found myself hearing it in the (approximate) voice of Hickox45, the clouds parted and I was enlightened. More or less. Sniper. Almost missed that, you sneaky devil. JHH. Haunted, no shit, by those cat-eyes, etc. Lex. Word, law. What's to say? Thanks, all. Take that, rollover!

#8  "In purple and gold," sez the lurker,
"Dis upstart intelligence worker
Descends in a hurry!
His favor I'll curry
By dubbing him, 'Renaissance Burger!'"

#2  The Duke of York, a dauntless prick,
passes for a doddering frick,
walks the alleys for a three minute trick;
in peasants and beggars dippin' his wick.
When they ask him, 'Beg pardon, explain'
he puts up a royal shtick.

'Alzheimer's !' He 'dignantly shouts,
and the Lestrade no longer doubts -
that the Right Divine can be so risque.
'Egad ! It's not from God but goddess Nyx !'.
