Ball Words and a new genus species of English Phraseology

[Robin Leech]

Hi Susanne,
All very good, but, you will note that Ball Words do not have any
punctuation.  Is there any way that, in German, you can revise the
sentence so that there is no comma, yet there are at least 3 or 4
Fliegens in a row?
