"I mean, they're not gonna kill ya,
so if you give 'em a
quick, short, sharp, shock,
they won't do it again.
Dig it? I mean he got off lightly,
'cos I would've given him a thrashing
I only hit him once!
It was only a difference of opinion,
but really...I mean
good manners don't cost nothing
do they, eh?"

But I'm not a gayer.
And not always.
Sometimes, in order to elaborate fully, one needs to build the structure of the sentence through gradual increases, each clause taking the pace faster and faster, higher and higher, moving the reader on as if turning the page in anticipation of the next nugget of fact which he is desperate to consume, until he is almost feverish with anticipation and then, once the climax is approaching and there is something of a plateau with the heightened mood beginning to level off, it is important to give the sentence a quick jerk (eh, lazarus?) on the reigns. Like that. It's over. We are back to short ones.
Boy that felt good.
