Brilliant and so true too!!!!

PS Do you use facebook? If no, then must you not?

Me: Thank you Rhett. Sometimes you can get the result without the use of the word itself. Right??
I am on FB. :)

A suggestion from the insufferable pedant in me – a preposition “to” between “invite them” and “my cheeks” so that it is grammatically correct. Actually, it looks like a typo from you. Or you can use other words like “surrender them,” “give them,” “furnish them,” “supply them,” (okay, time to stop the boring rant) etc.

Me: Roopa, now now don’t get carried away! :P Thanks awfully!! Actually, the line is ‘I invite them to smudge my cheeks’ re-arranged. Poetic license?? :P ‘I invite them ‘to’ my cheeks to smudge’ doesn’t convey the same feeling somehow. Hmm… but ‘surrender them’ sounds good. ‘I surrender them my cheeks to smudge’ has a better feel to it. Thanks Roopa. I really appreciate your comment. As you know (did you??) I am only an Economics student! :P ;)

Beautiful little poem from you, Shail. Only hoping this is pure fiction and nothing else.
Regards,
Pal

Me: That IS a beautiful song, isn’t it Pallavi??

Why tears are mostly what you write about?
Is it because it’s the best feeling we all emote?
Anyways your verses always get my vote.

Me: Now you comment poetically eh PRG??

Thank you for the vote
The feeling I best emote
Is a smile without a doubt
Yet tears it is I write about. :)

Me: Hmm… I guess I know why you are smiling! ‘Shail’ effect??

Me: Wow, thanks Rakesh. Lets hear some of those one-liners!
