You're in luck, old bean! I found a tin of compromised salmon down in the bilge. I'll let you have it for 1200 pounds (airmail postage included).

We played a game 16 years ago. He blundered his queen in the opening and quietly imploded. To this very day he owes me 1200 pounds and a small armadillo.

Here's a ditty about an armadillo,
It may just make you laugh,

Well I just tossed my first 800 word submission in the waste basket. I chose devotion as my subject but I now see it's "emotion", close but no cookie. πŸ™ Thanks for taking up the chore Pondy. I will now begin on emotion.

What about a 800 word submission on the characters we have in these forums? I don't know if 800 words would cover it....LOL...
