A Debate (here)
Cheeky remarks sparked the feud
Sparks flew touching initially on official
indiscretions but later personal
escapades which were mischievously
rekindled. It knocked on raw nerves
more so when it involved other than the
two contenders. Now a threat not to
accept a 'loss' outcome!

For De's Quadrille at d'Verse
and to include the word - spark
Cheeky remarks do tend to do that sometimes, don't they? ;)
