Birthday greetings and a little bit of self-pity

Happy birthday to globalfruitbat and to darkestarx

I hate ‘Rhyming Review Day’ at ‘Twisting the Hellmouth’. Getting a bad review is so much worse when someone has gone to the trouble of writing it as an epic poem with 9 verses detailing the shortcomings of my portrayal of each of the characters.

I think the most complex verse I've written today was

Roses are red
violets are blue
I think you mean "first kiss"
but "fist" will do too...

I thought of doing one saying

"Your portrayal of Giles has a linguistic flaw
He'd never say 'gotten'; it's a word he'd abhor
The same goes for Wesley, and Lydia, and Spike
Such Americanisms are things we don't like

but I resisted the temptation.
