\*\*\*don’t get it…do people just change because they want to after it’s finished? \*\*\* Well, not usually. Once a line is written it stands - and wouldn’t be altered by anyone unless it is crazily incongruous. Similarly, once a limerick is completed, that’s it, and we move on to a new one. Just another reminder though; the writer of the first line cannot write the last. (In this way the play gets shared around and one person cannot dominate the thread). ---
