    Hoh hoh, fellows...

    ...

    If I was Frank, I think I would ditch the line...visually, in the way of the velvet crush, and spotlit - down a Jazz club, chap book open in the palm...I'm not sure...

    'Your daffodil was just a lie...our I love yous have flown awry...a memory...an only guy...'

    [RIOTOUS APPLAUSE]

    'Thank you, thank you...thank you...'

    [MORE APPLAUSE]

    Forgot why I revisited this thread today with Mat's poetic sirentrack sidetrack there.

    I wanted to tag this on:

    coincidentally twenty lines up on my wip....

    'She smiled, nodded and disguised her disinterest with the right inflections on the yesses and reallies...'

    Yes's and really's ? Hmmm.

    Well you can spell them out like you did, or I have seen s's, or people put it in quotes like "s's." I think I usually go with the idea of the letter followed by the apostrophe and then an s. So 2 g's... would be how I would do it.
