"The domain of disappointment" is good. He uses a little poetry to extend both the boundaries of heaven and hell.

Bitter Bierce,
so terse and fierce.
He's singing now
in both my earse!

Bierce is fierce! Good one, Andy, thanks, Llapp! But I would have spelled the last word "ierce".

"Fewness" as a word, will never loose it's newness, cause every time you use this word the folks will put you through this.

Sometimes my strong feelings come out as poetry:
When stratus clouds are all around, I'll keep my feet down on the ground.
If lightening, rain and thunder sound, I'll keep my feet down on the ground.
When icy wings and fog abound, I'll keep my feet down on the ground.
There's danger in the sky, I've found; I'll keep my feet down on the ground.
