I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

Correction .....Neville wasn't talking about likes or dislikes. He made a suggestion on effective writing which he is repeating from the teachings of experienced bush poets.
Check out Ellis Campbell's Tips for Writing; no. 7. Inverted phrases.

Oh Neville don't get in a flap :o I wasn't taking offence at anything you said - never will Mate :lol: I'm just trying to stir Bob a bit, but it seems like fish he isn't biting. Must be worn out from all his po'ing with his Mates :roll:

These are for you trebor :lol: :lol: because I know you appreciate doggie logic

You can say any foolish thing to a dog, and the dog will give you a look that says, 'Wow, you're right! I never would've thought of that!'
- Dave Barry

Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole.
-Roger Caras

If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.

I wasn't in a flap Maureen. Men don't flap. ;)

And as Bob has said, sometimes inverted phrases fit the piece, of course they do.

At twilight, nature is not without loveliness,
though perhaps its chief use is to illustrate quotations from the poets.
