      Following Stephen’s excellent post about writing a “lay abstract” as a short story, I shall make a second attempt at blogging the day’s events in limerick form.

      As I don’t want to suffer from flu,
      A shot in the arm did ensue.
      My arm’s stiff and sore,
      I can’t type any more,
      Not even to fix this typoo.

      Athankyouverymuch. And, ow.

          Thanks!

          Times I have typed “functional imaging” in the last hour: 2.
          Times I have typed “functional imagine” instead: 10.

          Unfortunately 2.20pm is far too early to give up and go to the pub.

          Well, obviously for the shot. That last line was pure genius, my friend.
