Ha. As if he didn't have troubles enough!:)

Yes; perfect, Julie. With accompanying cartoon! 🤣

These are a riot! I misread often. That Rilke's vomit might be poetic is almost too much to imagine!

And Fliss, no apologies needed. It's a title ripe for misreading : ) Interestingly enough, the poem does mention swords...

Julie, that is hilarious.
