I do not take any offence, however I would say that you do seem to be having a few negative moments recently....in fact it would appear that my poem caused sufficient distress to cause you to repeat your comments three times...a well accepted literary device to underline a point...so I’m thinking you didn’t like it then!
I guess crappy poetry can do that to a man, so fair enough if your lair is littered with such.
Normally, at this point I would humbly submit with genuflexion to your considerably greater skills in the use of both poetic endeavours and literary devices, However it must be my age, because recently I have become quite garrulous.
So I am going to do a first and answer back in assertive tones on this one.
(I know bravo for me!)

The other point is a grammatical nicety. Consider.
A ring (of tears) form....or A ring (xxxx) forms.
Then.
A ring (of tears) drop back...or A ring (xxxx) drops back.
Sure, it's pedantic...I gotta find something to fault you on
The lab environment I am used to...I learned but do not understand the principle of distilling from a cider then testing the alcohol. Alcohol is alcohol..ethylene or methylene...what are we looking for in this test? I need to know.
Best,
