With no paucity of verbosity, I'm renown for my prolixity. And with those few words I have - hopefully - proved I wasn't trying for anything overly ornate in my first post. Yeah, if anything I toned that bad boy down a notch, or two. Whatever else - and whatever my reservations about the tone of a couple of the succeeding replies - I did enjoy several of them, none more so than the creative Dr. Seuss spin (that's me genuflectin' in the author's direction). I found it interesting that Stephen King's name was invoked, as well. For one thing Mr. King advocates is that you write for your ideal reader, i.e., yourself. As I'm not one for Hemingway's stripped down prose, it follows that my tastes run more towards Mencken, Poe and Sheed. No less predictable is my own fondness for wordplay that sometimes finds me taking the scenic route in making my point. Don't like it? Then recognize the significance of my moniker herein and press on. No hard feelings. Really. Different (key) strokes for different folks. Just don't give me a hard time for how I choose to express myself, and I will extend you that same courtesy.
I think he's trying to communicate with us...
