Not amused

[abu nuwas]

I see that elsewhere you have almost been begging to be thrashed on the Serious Board; your punishment from me, will be, that I won't. I think it a nice poem. In your last reply, you meant 'cherchez la femme'. Is that any good?

Did you ever trouble to ask you teacher why he thought that there should be such sparse punctuation? Did he have a Bumper Poetry Guide for Boys?

Merdre.
Now that is a howler worthy of a good thrashing. I am at your mercie....er...mercy. At the very least I shall turn of my predictive phonetic dumbed down texting facility.
Got me Abu!
Thanks for kind unkind words.
Best,
Tectak

I shall not ask you to examine the spellings in that comment--that would be petty. But that teacher?
