Pride and Syllable by Sally Law Dialogue Only Writing Contest contest entry |
~**~ What do you mean my syllable count is off? Right here you wrote, "The rain in Spain stays mainly in the plain." That's ten syllables. The first line of a Nonet is nine syllables. By the way, this sounds familiar. Did you plagiarize this? It's nine syllables, not ten. Clearly, you can't count. I've been counting since I was one. You're the one who can't count! And for the record, I wrote this. Well, I have been counting since I was eight months old and I'm telling you, you're off. Ha! At eight weeks old, I understood Einstein's Theory of General Relativity. Blah, blah, blah. We all figured it out when we threw a bottle of formula across the room. You're just trying to change the subject. No, I'm not. Yes, you are! I have this Nonet ready for a FanStory contest and I'm pressing the button right now!! Okay, you asked for it!! A four-star review coming from me to you. Oh, no! Please... not the dreaded four-star review! Oh, yes! Okay, you win. Where's that on-line syllable counter? It's right here. Now, you and I both know you took that line from a famous musical. I see your 'My Fair Lady' Blu-ray disc sitting by your computer. Now what? Are you saying I stole that line? Exactly. I really want to win the Nonet contest. There's a cash prize! But, at what cost? Let me think. Arrest, imprisonment, and the ruination of my good name? I'm not really sure, but I do know you'll sleep better. Has anyone ever told you, you're a pain in the butt? Yep. That's exactly what friends are for.
