"The things you ask me are a heavy load
You wish me to be completely honest
You question me on the nature of things
and ignore what I have to say in response
You tell me that I'm being too quiet
But if I say something, then I'm stupid
Eventually after some time, I come to a conclusion
To take off and desert you
what comes out of your mouth,
your exceedingly florid, oversentimental words betray you
what comes out of your mouth,
it's not possible to give creedence to you."

Right on, Mel! You're poised to crack double-digits.
Say, if you get sick of doing these, or if the thrill goes, don't sweat keeping it going just on my account! I've got a backlog of set to post through August whether anybody plays or not.
Of course I'm glad to have the participation and keep it up! But I don't want you to you know, just do it out of obligation or anything.
I was kind of originally expecting nobody to play, so it's been a nice surprise for me! :-D
BUT, don't feel you have to keep going with it just for me. I have no desire either for it to be an obligation to you. Even if it stops, in my mind I will always be winning.
I wish they'd let me run in a race on my own when I was in primary school. Then I wouldn't have had to suffer the ignominy of coming stone cold motherless last. *sniff*
I know I do. I always come in second, because I like to be modest.
