Very misspelled. 2/4.

Nice title! I'm all in favour of more love.

Googling types of love (agape, philia etc) I found storge, which I have never heard of before and I swear someone has made up since my days of Ancient Greek with Mrs Matthews.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Storge

I mean, they claim it's in Liddell & Scott but I reckon they are making that up.

Storge sounds like something you would eat if you didn't think kale was disgusting/healthy enough.

I lost a post on the end of the last thread about catten (and katten being the Dutch plural for cats), and scooping up Dobermans.

Oh well.

Oh god, now I’m going to have to look in Liddell & Scott to check or I’ll be fretting all afternoon. I’ve never heard of it, either.

Update: Storge is in Liddell & Scott. Mrs Matthews and Mrs Moriarty were clearly sex maniacs who only wanted to talk about the other kinds of love.

Maybe Storge is a fiendish MI6 test of whether you are Googling or really know shit? Like those street names they put on maps to catch plagiarists.

I am rewarding myself for exemplary outpatient behaviour by having the kind of McDonald's burger I would frown on should anyone in my family order it.

does storge rhyme with corgi?

My parents are spending most of their lives in UCH outpatients at the moment. My dad complained to me about the enormous amounts of money they’re spending on hospital junk food. My suggestion that they take sandwiches was not well-received.

Store-gay. Like a bloke who works in Selfridges’ fashion department.

so I can't write a properly rhyming poem about my storge for a corgi?

that's sad

Just as well, if you ask me.

oy

What should I get our Queen

For her platinum jubilee?

A corgi named Jason?

Or a storge from Fortnum and Mason.

i am so sorry.

although the overfeeding of pets (even if accidental) makes me sad.

It doesn't make Juno sad. We could feed her until she looked like Shirley in Shaun the Sheep and she'd still eat more.

Mountweazels! Or is that only for fake dictionary entries?

“Weaseling out of things is important to learn; it’s what separates us from the animals… except the weasel.”

We always make so much of Eros

Heights of joy and depths of loss

Dearest friends share in the Philia

Doubt me? check the memorabilia

Pure transcendental holy Agape

That's the thing for God the pappy

But oh the homely joys of Storge

With a little cuddly corgi.

You should come visit as we seem to have a couple of spares most days.

Your poem was better than mine.
