Meaney, re: line 4 above: End your search. There's no verb in the line. "Trails" is a plural noun.
Oh... then shouldn't it be "trails like ellipses"? :tongue

A flea and a fly in a flophouse
Waded through writings by Wodehouse
"These scribbles are plum!"
"They're not! You're so dumb!"
"So said Jeeves," said the weevil and wood louse.

Overwhelmed by haiku

Sorry! I started to finish some haiku, took my daughter to school, and when I got back and entered, there were Meaney's and PattitheWicked's...

So...can we renumber, or is this getting to be too many??!!

I've got an idea. :idea:

For sanity's sake, let's not start a new one till all are finished up...whoever finishes the last one remaining can start the new one. Fair enough?
