I enjoyed this Terri. An infinite set of possibilities. If you ever run out

Cheers,
Frank

>What I love about books
>is running my fingers up and down their smoothly printed spines.
>What I hate about spines

>What I love about discs
>is snapping the cellophane on a pristine jewel-case.
>What I hate about jewel-cases
>is that elusive fingernail of grey fluff in each velvet corner.
>What I love about corners
>is pebble-dash, cannoned by random shopping trolleys exposing the bricks.
>What I hate about bricks
>is the hackneyed toppling of wobbly rainbow alphabets.
>What I love about alphabets
