@Enc...@Titus - Thanks, glad you were amused by it.<br /><br />@Enchanted Oak - Many thanks. I do enjoy a challenge and having something to write about which doesn't grab me really makes me try and see if I can wring something out of it, so it's a good exercise at the very least.Argenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10532506690426639326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254559936115487829.post-46925259353765976892010-05-11T06:38:21.401+01:002010-05-11T06:38:21.401+01:00I really like the way you think.

I rather doubt you're capable of doing anything uninspired. You seem to be a writer well acquainted with inspiration. <br />Cheers from ChrisEnchanted Oakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14815997287116818456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7254559936115487829.post-57511378362930855392010-05-11T00:14:32.114+01:002010-05-11T00:14:32.114+01:00Oh Argent.

I found the picture very uninspiring so, as I do in these situation, I resorted to silliness.<br /><br />@Watercats - Ron is right I think, it was b&w then. Cheers!<br /><br />@Mr Nolan - Thanks for driving. I didn't like my picture, but rules is rules and I didn't swap it for a more pleasing one - more of a challenge that way.<br /><br />@Bug - I can't figure out how people did play sports dessed like that. It must all have been very sedate.<br /><br />@NanU - Thanks!<br /><br />@Rachel - And thank you! Daring rhyme? I assume creepier/sepia? Desperate rather than daring I think.<br /><br />@Friko - It's true: my head is chock full of clutter and I bet you'd find verses a-plenty in yours too. Ccome play on the bus with us.<br /><br />@Niamh - Thanks, I do like punchlines in pomes and elsewhere.<br /><br />@DFTP - Roger McGough is a splendid poet (pote?)
