O master of the metaphor
Are you able to sleep at nights?
Dreams like these don’t relate to life;
How are you when reality bites?

Not very well, I suspect. Like many gamers and their real offline lives. Much conjecturing on my part though.
Thanks for the call. A touchy one. Please feel free to retract if gets embarrassing.
Reality is always in my life Dave and all is wonderful.

You certainly know how to extract the best juices out of life, Andy 👍
I'm struggling with understanding some metaphors, and also iambic pentameters - if I knew what they are, that is! lol.
I'm full of empathy here. I think you and I are on the same page. Let's hope no one slams the book shut on us.....
Are we both reading from the same page in that book? Or more accurately, as the saying goes, are we both singing from the same hymn sheet?!
I thought you had completely abandoned all reference to hymns and singing, orchi...now... I can feel my nervous indigestion bubbling up again...
I need to sing /screech again soon. Best write a hymn or two then.
I implore you.... why don't you explore new horizons? - take up the penny whistle instead....
I remember a girl who used to buy me drinks.
It's just one of the reasons I Metaphor.
Oh well quipped, Sir. A wee smattering of humour well timed. Still a serious argument I'm making here.
Succinctly put...madness of metaphors..or is it metaphocal madness do we suffer from?
Metaphor has of course a role in poetry when carefully placed. To make an argument totally out of metaphor is ridiculous, or if you prefer madness and has no relevance to anything, especially reality.
Thanks once more for your call
