Hey Diane. I'd had a little glass
of Campari shortly before
sending that post last night.
Anyway, it's a poem, not a
competition (that's Michael's department).

Leonard once wrote a rather odd poem
called 'Terez and Deanne elude me',
(in 'The Energy of Slaves')
and your "___n_ _____" response
was a delightful reminder of that work;
if you're familiar with it you'll know why.
Thank you!

Hi Geoffrey,

Blimey, I had no idea your post was a poem. I almost suggested that you re-title the thread "5/13", in order to allow people to get a point for having the ‘space’ between their names in the right place. It is clearly me who does strange things late at night.

My copy of TEoS, along with my copy of TFG, is still in the possession of someone I lent it to some years ago. (Wonder if that person reads here?) I don’t recall the poem. Please copy it here so I can see what you mean.

Well, it most certainly was a poem - concerning comparisons.

Re-typing is not possible, you have to see the page - or a scan of it. I am hopeless at technical wizardry. The next time you lend 'The Favourite Game' to someone remember to first tear out the very last page - because that is where one learns the actual nature of 'the favourite game'. Tell them they can read the solution when they return the book. That is why Leonard cunningly put the answer in the final paragraph.

I could've gotten the L and an h and an e in there, but would've had to invert their positions. This is nooooo competition. It's fun.

Yes, and I love it when things turn out to be more than I'd assumed them to be.

PS Lizzy, I think you are cheating . I think you'll find you have only one point, like me.
