We've all been there. You post a perfectly innocent link to a piece on cardboard boxes, and next thing you know the Comments have taken on a life of their own. Enter the Sims.
I name this form - a kind of prose haiku in three sentences that must begin 'We've all been there', present a dilemma, and resolve in with 'Enter the...' - after its creator, the estimable Jenny Sims of BBC News Magazine. I think it is a form that - like the Izzard-Fry Rule - can be applied across the board, no subject too big or small. We've all been there. On all fours before the lamentable spectacle of the unknown. Enter God... Thank you, Jenny Sims, for your unwitting gift to the language.
