Well, that'll teach you not to have your plums out on your lap. No imbibing going on here today, sadly, I can't get out of the driveway to make my way to the bottle shop 
On Charlie B -- I have every intention of being called "an insult to public decency" by as many poetical fascists as possible. I see absolutely no reason why a sonnet should be used exclusively as a vehicle of romantic gushiness, though it has been strongly suggested to me on more than one occasion (by the ignorant, who have since been severely educated) that this is absolutely the case. Similarly, I see no reason why an unpleasant or even crass (perish the thought!) subject should be treated in a less than elegant fashion. The bum crack is as important (if not moreso) to a woman as her twinkling starlike eyes or queenly ankles.
I like my sacred cows medium rare.
