I wanted to thank you Ralph for the limerick, it was definitely a lot tamer than the limerick I saw posted on a Moscow expat listserv inspired by your Poetry in a Pocket Day,...
And I wanted to thank you, Therese and Masud for your public somewhat heated exchange. It's not that I like to watch people fighting in public. But I do like to see us grow as a community? (I'm not sure we're a community, so for now, I imagine we're a "community?"). Just like my weakness for sweetness, I have a weakness (I like to think) for dancing at the edge. And I think all this limerick business and your exchange/nonexchange with Masud, Therese, helped edge us there. In other words, I find this North American politeness thing rather boring. Rather, it's not boring. More exactly, it doesn't expand our NOW, as Harrison might put it. Is this making sense? Or should I be looking for another rocking chair from a Christian missionary listserv?
