I've written sixty-nine, in total, of these —
Vocal "stories," original, designed to please —
but I'll never reach the inner circle.
I'm this platform's own Urkel,
or its loathsome, starving Ornitholestes*.
*A small species of egg-thieving theropod from the late Jurassic. See here for more. :D

The old bird robber hey...You don't have to write to please others - just do it for yourself mate! And if our works ever make it into a book and onto a shelf I'm sure yours would be a beautifully bound hard back and mine a scruffy old dog eared paper back!
