This really made me laugh aloud! I find myself saying very often, 'It was a rhetorical question!'

I love the rigour of 11 syllables, then the no/so; this is just my sort of thing.

I enjoyed it.

Hi Robert,

Funny, and clever too. It's fun to imagine what did happen. I wasn't quite sure who was saying 'So' in each instance - both would work well with question marks, leaving no doubt that it's the boy who's speaking them (I can almost hear him in my head, see the expression on his face - Harry Enfield's Kevin to a T!!)

A great response to the exercise.

Nell.

This is good and simple. I love the so/no grunts!
