Michael, this is brilliant and genuinely made me laugh - the imagery is sublime; I can literally picture this perfectly.
I was just about to message you about that 6 syllable thing, thinking you thought 'smiled' was 2 - unfortunately, your end notes ruined my smugdum (by the way, 'smugdum' is a word that I concocted in another comment the other day - expect to see it gracing dictionaries across the land soon. Rather good, isn't it?)

This did make me chuckle and the imagery is fantastic I can picture you doing a double take and thinking "oh my" but not in so many words :)

Very witty - clever too of course!

Loved it. As always your imagery is superb as is your wit. Milly x
