On www.mlb.com, I had a conversation with a Cardinals fan somewhere in Missouri. She also mistook my question with the word "affluent" for "fluent". I had to explain to her the difference between the two words. Good write as usual, Ilene.

This poem did make me laugh. Wonderful wit and rhyme. And I'd rather be affluent as well.
