Hee hee! Good question, Roger. How about this:
You may think that this is the end--
Well, it is!
(Note: for those of you who are blessedly unfamiliar with American pop-culture of the mid-20th century and who might be wondering what I could possibly mean by this-- I have just quoted the closing couplet from a bit of doggerel that some of us sang as kids, to the tune of John Phillip Sousa's rousing "Stars and Stripes Forever":
Be kind to your web-footed friends,
For a duck may be somebody's mother!
He sits all alone in the swamp
Where it's windy, cold and dawmp;
You may think that this is the end--
Well, it is!
Anyway, I think I'll run for closure while I'm ahead. Bye.
