AT least it ended with his dad telling him something positive to do, and that is a great thing.

Good Limerick with a nice twist at the end, Justin.

Laughing. I can remember my dad saying the same to me, Justin. I was always humming, singing, or rapping out a rhythm on the back of something when I was a kid. I think it drove him bananas. Meir could have been Milt...but then it wouldn't have rhymed. Thanks!
