Thanks Brian, Stephen and Paul. Sometimes a word twists in my head and in this case, I just felt the urge (mainly at night) to make something out of it. Glad you all like what I was trying to do.

Thanks for the likes, Stephen and Jennifer.

I always felt a bit sorry for Yuric (!) Nice one.

Nice bit of poetic licence with Yorick's name Ray!
