A wonderful bit of doggerel here, GW.

Author Reply: Prologues without any story can be so dull if you don't play with them and the disclaimer just seemed to need a bit of dressing up. Glad you enjoyed it! You've given me a good time today. I've been reading your "Second Mum" story and I have had a lovely afternoon and evening because of it! Thank you!

LOL!! Now *that* is one original disclaimer!! I loved it!

Author Reply: I keep trying to think of new ways to say the same thing. LOL I may just continue to use this one from here on as it seemed to be more popular than some of my stories! hehehe

ROTFL!!!

Hear all ye people near and far
Of the famous author Grey Wonderer,
Who wrote the bestest prologue there'd be,
But never earned a fee ;-)

Now, on to the real story!

Author Reply: LOL Thank you for the poetic praise. Oh, and wouldn't it be interesting just to post a prologue without a real story sometime? That would keep folks guessing.

Bravo! Bravo!! Bravisimo!!!

This is worth it's weight in gold!!

(I wonder how much 93 words weigh? Hmmm?)

Author Reply: I think I was hearing the voice of Dr. Seuss at the time. All of my poems wind up sounding like Dr. Seuss. I think I read his books too often as a child. It's left a mark on me. hehehe

If you break them down into letters then I suspect that the weigh-in will take some time to complete. After all, I suspect that the word 'To' doesn't weigh nearly as much as the word 'Mississippi' don't you?

I just cannot resist a GW prologue, even when I have no time to read... here's another going on my summer reading list.

I put them in my story cause I like them and they're small.
Ain't it the truth!

Author Reply: I may just have to use the poem as my standard disclaimer. It seems to be going over quite well. Enjoy your summer!

I love your prologues GW -

Maybe all disclaimers should be done in verse
or perhaps the Authors subjected to a curse.
Stoned by all the Hobbits, beheaded by the Dwarves;
if profit made or given or coin to line your purse.


Author Reply: Very well said!

Perhaps you should use that as your prologue sometime. We simply have to try and make these things more entertaining. LOL

*snicker*

I think this is one of the best disclaimers I've ever read!

Author Reply: Why thank you!
It makes me proud to be able to claim this disclaimer as my own and I may just use it again as it is getting better reviews than my stories do! hehehe
