I've changed the title of the thread,
Just in case Michael hasn't read.
Trying to write a limerick my brain bled,
So let me say just this instead:
Maluco is the best thing since sliced bread,
And I hope that the virus has been spread!

My apologies, I have not been following this thread at all, as
Brasileirao maluco seemed to complex for my increasingly senescent brain.

I think the thread also started shortly after I got back from my dad's
funeral, so I wasn't paying much attention.


So Andrea is right, I hadn't read.
In the face of such public pressure, and bardic prowess, I feel a moral
obligation to join in. On the other hand, my presence here is likely to
be quite sporadic over the next while. Sabbatical coming up, and lots to
prepare before we head off to New Zealand.

" Had I but world enough, and time,
to join this game would be no crime.
But its complexities I fear,
and then again, I won't be here. "

with apologies to Andrew Marvell.

Sorry about that.

I'm confused. Is this a "yes" or a "no"?
Anyway, it doesn't take too much of your time. There are usually four
or five days to make/accept bets and if you are not present during a
week, the most you can lose is a single point for the automatic
forfeit.

Tchau!

I'm willing to co-manage.
I can almost guarantee that if there's a league table for poetry I'll
end bottom of it though!
