Well, when your starting phrase is "bulge in 't.' your poem has some other problems, poor guy.
A man walks down the street in that hat, people know he's not afraid of anything.

There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

I look more rad than Lutheranism
You'll have to pry "effloresce" and "deliquesce" from my cold, stiff fingers.
I think you just like words that end in -esce.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I think you just like words that end in -esce.
That's not true. They don't have to end in -esce, just contain it. Like "quintessence." See, it's a very snooty word. Klassy with K. Also a good song by Squeeze.

Not all of them. Just guessing, but I doubt "detumesce" is a favorite.

It's not the kind of word that guys like to even contemplate, much less hear.

So I understand. It's not like Voldemort, though.

Heh. I would think "impotence" might get the Voldemort treatment.
"Don't say that word! I just had too much to drink. I've been very stressed at work lately! It's not...you know....That word."

Yeah. Well, spending so much time writing as Munch, I've acquired a new respect for The Penis, and the people that have them. Freud was still wrong, though. Y'all can keep 'em.

"iridescence" is nice also. "conscience" can be a bit bothersome. "tuppence" is for Jane.
Anybody read Lois Bujold? A friend insisted I read The Warrior's Apprentice and I have done. I enjoyed the writing and all, but it seemed a bit...Mary Sue?
