Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week: 



Fysigunkus - someone with no curiosity.

Turophile - a cheese lover.

Dygomy - a second marriage.



Gyles' poem this week was 'Unfortunate Coincidence' by Dorothy Parker



By the time you swear you’re his,

     Shivering and sighing,

And he vows his passion is

     Infinite, undying—

Lady, make a note of this:

     One of you is lying.
