I thank thee. I'm pleased with it, but it seems you and I disagree about the merits of your nuclear tale (http://www.livejournal.com/users/silmaril/63865.html) (think that phrasing will throw anyone off?) -- I think that's much more impressive than what I did. All I had to do was take what I'd have written anyhow about this afternoon's annoyance, and massage it a little to make it metrical. You had a lot more inventing to do, and what you wrote actually feels less "forced" than mine.
*standing ovation*
(Of course, it is pathetic without even any comparison, but...)

I say the applause should be thine.
