Like No: 2, reminds me of the 60s, "Hey Groovy Man."

I thought this was smashing, groovy, nice, good and droll. Better than anything you see on the Telly. You really are a satirical jester. I spoke to a racoon the other day who didn't like your stories and I said to him "John", because that was his name, "Haven't you read Haunty The Ghost? It's spiffy!" But that S.O.B. just said you were a "Nerd" and so I hit him with a Penguin and then he screamed "Yaaargh!" in pain. So I say to the cherrypickers, as I told my friend the Racoon I would ,"Please Cherrypick this story".

Oh look, a link. I wonder where it leads.

Good? whats wrong with 'good'! my hated phrases are many eg. life and strife of that there is no doubt as is plain to see. they're all bullshit lead-ins to some crap rhyme.

it068 the word 'good' is absolutely fine but there are more interesting adjectives you could use like: 'smashing' or 'great' etc. Thanks for commenting!
