Such wildness can't really be bad diet for a writer on occasion?

Everyone has to splurge sometimes.

So occasionally I binge on metaphors.

I don't actually get drunk.

You say the results of my binge are in the eyes of the beholders?

Well, maybe I do over do it just a bit.

Just a tiny tiny bit.

But if a drizzle is good for growing things, shouldn't a downpour be better?

So what if some of the new grass seed washes away.

Most of the seed, you say?

Oh. Well, I guess I should let sleeping canines stay right where they are.
