Excellent

Yet they boast of transparency! All they do is lie, lie, lie -- both parties. It is up to We, the People now. I wish you well in this contest which has been a challenge in itself. Beam them out of hallowed halls.

Exceptional

Wow, a great new word that SHOULD be in the dictionary. Do like your pun last line! IMHO your entry will get serious consideration in the contest. Great illustration to accompany your 5-7-5!

Minor editorial suggestion: consider using italics for your word. Add a dash or ... after your first line to set off the next two?

Mark, I have been most remiss on getting back to thank you for your "sixer" and gratifying words of praise for my work.

Thank you very much indeed.

Best

John,

The winner was an outstanding entry, but you did receive notable interest as I had predicted.

Haha yes indeed, I actually voted for the winner myself.

This is definitely going to be a contender to beat in the contest. The fact that holoticians are seeking volts adds lots of points for creativity and humor. Anything to hold onto power!

I've never heard that word before and I must say it is inventive and clever, I love the reference to power, flickering and volts. Few words with a powerful message, love Dolly x
