"My advice for both you and Dale is: 'Contend you not' on the phrase reversals or inversions, because you both love to use them."
Ah a rogue who likes to bite me with my own mouth,
but I shall a case lay out,
and thus dispose of this lout!
(Ach, he's incorrigible, leave him be and mayhap he'll die on his own!)
___________________________________________________________
Well of course I do and I use them purposefully, however Tom likes his metre straight, like he likes his Scotch, but as with Scotch, after a few he gets giddy, and can't help himself.
As for contention, contention is the meat of excellence, and if we contend not, how can we decide who gets Hermia, and who gets Helena.
"Like as the waves make towards the pebbled shore,
So do our minutes hasten to their end;
Each changing place with that which goes before,
In sequent toil all forwards do contend."
see even the Bard agrees, plus we are talking in trochee, not iambs!

How long after picking up the brush, the first masterpiece?
The goal is not to obfuscate that which is clear, but make clear that which isn't.
