Longest last-letter sentence

You know the game where we tried to make the longest sentence and the last-letter game? Well, this is combining the two.
For example:
One evening, ghosts swam miles...
I will start:
Once


I'll be here at least once every decade.

Re: Longest last-letter sentence

how

Once everything goes suddenly you understand how...


In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Longest last-letter sentence

Bobby, I think your word should have started with "d", which is the last letter of the last word.

I wonder if there's one such word that retains MathsIsFun's "wonderful". smile

Re: Longest last-letter sentence

"submit" doesn't seem to fit, l-d (maybe your post crossed with MathsIsFun's?)...so I think I'll just continue on from "surprisingly":-

-yobbish
