- Ohmygod they are getting worse! The powers/flowers rime is o.k., though
- somewhat hackeneyed (hackneyed).... but the appearance/nuance is
- defective.... try "fucking appearance/fancy-a-near-ance" for a clever
- turn of phrase.
- In spite of these lame attempts at versification, I must admit that I
- am really *moved* by the thought.... In fact, I feel like I have been
- fucking fondled.
