Thanks for the laugh! I think you should keep this couple around for more he/she poetry! They obviously belong together!

I believe you should create a serial, throw in a shower scene where one of them dies and comes back Welsh only to discover that Wales is only a dream.

This belongs to the Community Poetry line...where we can all add on a telephone party line connection of various (dis)contented lovers. Congrats to both you and Balladeer!

Very well orchestrated. Undoubtedly they did each other in and are headed to the same warm place in the afterlife. Perhaps their story should continue there. What could be more hellish? Thanks for a good laugh.

I would enjoy teaming up with Baladeer in a shared telephone conversation, as I'm sure most would. With his pen, he could make the worst of us look good! How about it B?
