Breaking up

Relationship's soured, can't mend it?
But too scared to face up and end it?
Then whip out your cell
And type in "FAREWELL!
WE ARE OVER AND DONE" - now send it.

Inkspot writes a newsmerick for Oxford Bookstore, Kolkata


The Oxford Bookstore is now under
The spell of the Wizard Boy Wonder.
So rush to Park Street,
For a Harry Potter treat,
To miss it would be a huge blunder!

Harry Potter came to town and his muggle fans got a Newsmerick clarion call from the Oxford Bookstore Kolkata.

An encomium divine

Well I'm trying to keep a straight face
After reading this E-mail (its an ace!)
What else can you do
When it refers to you
As "Your celestial impregnable grace"?


I am not joking! Someone actually used that form of address in an E-mail to a friend. Imagine yourself being referred to in such glorious terms... what an honor!

...Must be my overactive grey cells but the phrase keeps conjuring up visions of a) a large, glistening fortress and b) .... naah can't say it on a family website!

:D :D

Was apparently said as a joke!
