excellent!  one word.  one freakin word!  any other writer would have built slowly and boringly up to what you managed to encapsulate in one freakin word.  excellent...as always.

Must acknowledge Tom's part in this. It came from another comment and was a case of 'snap' in our thinking.

Thanks John. Yes. sometimes brevity is all (like 'ripeness'?).

Cheers

it was Dorothy Parker who said "brevity is the soul of lingerie".

And the bird of Avon 'ripeness is all' (King Lear).

Brevity is certainly the soul of ripeness...

Still get a kick out of this, Milner!

Tom

The title so essential in a short piece such as this - hahaha!

So happy you put this up in tandem with Sharon's Viagra, Tom.

Wondering if they couldn't be put together as a joint poem?
How about it Sharon?

Off to bed to sleep on that thought.

Ha! Do you think, Milner?  :)  I'd be pleased, but I worry that it diminishes the power of yours, mine as tongue-in-cheek as it is...

Fun times  ;)
Sharon

May have to agree on keeping them apart, Sharon, but on different grounds. Perhaps putting them together would limit interpretations on each. Love 'Viagra'.

Cheers
