Jeri, it took me several readings of your post to actually get what you were doing there. I guess maybe that's because I wouldn't have expected something like that from you. I actually thought you were being sincere there until I put your verse next to Larry's and saw that they were the same. Ah, well. Joke's on me, I guess.

Larry, all I can say is that your song was very confusing for me. Perhaps I'm especially dense, as Jeri seems to think. I guess I'll just have to learn to live with that. Maybe I'm the only person who will experience your song in that way. But I did read some of the posts to the "Rape" thread, and I noticed that there was at least one other person seemed to not get it the way you intended either. I can understand how you might feel it would be counterproductive to make any modifications to the song, but I would ask you to not blame the people who don't understand it for not understanding it.
