Just spell it "masterpeas" and, if anyone asks, say that people with insomnia often become giddy and say things like that.

When I was little, I thought the Christmas carol went, Sleep in heavenly peas, slee-eep in heavenly peas . . . .

Not peas but: my body lies over the lotion, my body lies over the seat.

Just disregard. I could not resist.

Jerome,

You disagreed with me over this:

I have to say that it was just a bit of daftness; don't take me so seriously!

Remember what John Lennon used to say to Julian when they had their family dinners? "All I am saying is give peas a chance."

Zees and Zeds

If you make zees at night your spouse
might send you packing from the house;
but if you lie there making zeds
you could wake up with a broken head.

I heard the British don't say zee.
No, what they say is zed.
I wonder if this means they also
call a bee a bed?
How gruesome it would sound if they
did not say dee, but dead.
The way the British talk sometimes
seems awfully strange to med.
