I'm so sorry to hear that, Julie. Words fail me even more than usual.

This is why light verse is so important. Fluff and snark forever!

Reason: added noindex tags for Matt below; perhaps too late

I've redacted this poem. I had forgotten this part of the Sphere was visible to the web.

Matt,
"and roll upon the floor and then [redacted]"
This has to be one of the best lines written this year.

The whole thing is splendid, Matt. Look out for an opportunity to use it.

Thanks Douglas, John, Ann and Eric. I'm glad you liked it.
John, I sent it to New Verse News last night, so maybe they'll take, although there's so much else going in the world at the moment, it already seems a little bit like old news. I'm also wondering if I might get away with retitling it "On first looking into the Chilcot Report" (or something cleverer than that) for the Spectator competition.
best,
-Matt

Matt,
Touch of real class! Respect.
And, to quote George W. , "Yo. Quinlan!"

I'll be a 1980s California girl and say "Totally awesome."
