Bet this one goes down well at the pub Marty, great when you can write the story in a poem and all the listeners are in on the story.



Good one mate.

yeah i know what you mean I'm working on one for a big tough bloke who's sister says he is scared of frogs.


This is a bloke who will not hesitate to grab a brown snake and whip crack it but chuck a green frog at him and he freaks.

That looks pretty good Marty. It would be easier to read if you worked on the punctuation a bit ;) I don't think that punctuation should be a hoop for writers to jump through it's an aid to the reader to receive the message better.

That looks better I think . ;) I don't think there are rules for commas, I reckon they just go with the feel of the rhythm, so I guess some people have different ideas of where commas should go. You reminded me of thoughts about inverted commas for speech, I'll put that question in the discussion page.
