Hi Sally,
I'm thinking of a way of saying:
Ah, there's no safe poetry - like there's no safe sex!
But I can't think of one. I like the directness of the metaphor here!
And I'm reminded of someone once talking about some 17th Century poetry
being "ejaculatory poetry" - but I won't say that either.
I'm chuckling at the playfulness!
Bob

Now I'm thinking if this is what a comma's like, what about brackets... or -
wore still - dashes! (Oh, I'm going to think about something else!)
