A Tale of Five Piggies

[busker]

I had no idea what the nursery rhyme was referring to, as I am not an expert on 18th century market practices…is your reader going to know that context? 

Also, to Busker, I know you think I’m Shem the Penman’s sock, which is kind of a compliment, since he’s a much better poet than I am. I’m a better human being, but he’s the better poet.

Xo,

Don't really care, 'Valerie Please'. 
'Shem' was / is a good poet. So are many others.

I liked 'your' latest poem and have no problem admitting it.

I bet 'Shem' will have a half dozen other socks. She’s welcome to use them whilst behaving like a normal person.
