I could, Brian, but I'm not sure I'm inclined to. The clunkier the better, I reckon. Lucy might reckon quite differently, of course...

Do the rhymes, Rob, and then offer her both versions. I feel there must be something more than clunkiness. But I could be wrong and the divine Lucy is inscrutable.

Brian, I have taken your advice. Do you think it improved?
