'Gadsby' was a full book with this particular affliction. Think how difficult that was!

Amazing! How could any author do such a mammoth task for a full book, and actually contain a story, a point, a plot, who knows - a sub-plot! Morals, mortals, animals - you only must look and you will find.
Wow. That's all I can say.

Haha.
So that's it! It sounds difficult and I thought that I would stay stuck with this for many days I got it at last, By Jingo!

My typing facility is faulty
Communication is thus fraught
A symbol upon which I usually count
Is lost,
Though by many it has got sought.
Utilisation of this symbol is most common
Whilst playing on a board a kind of crossword
In a box, two-by-six of such chips
You'll find
But a chip scoring half of two is scant award.
In night-clubs it's form is a small round pill
M 'n' Ms but with an all night hard-on
It's a drug for an acid bonanza
Though avoid at all costs
If you wish to avoid choky or instant tabloid stardom.

'Gadsby' was a fairly short book, I admit. Still, an amazing skill to author such a work!

Smart bunny, all of us!
But iconic things? What to do with icons? Do I allow a

I think not. So far, it is a shut book to this particular Gnomon. It is not in stock in Amazon and I did not buy this book, sadly.
Smiling icons, you should would shun any with said symbol, in my opinion. is OK, but not other similar brown drinks.

What is this book? "T' Gr8 Gatsby"? Who was author of that book? Or am I highly back to front and is that a book with nothing in common at all? I'm so ignorant...

I am watching (on tv) a sport involving two XIs ... South Africa v Sri Lanka. South Africa may go forward to round 2 tonight. Kiwis or South Africa can pack bags for flights.
