Thanks, Tom. I actually preferred my first draft but ‘how many syllables’ can’t count. Still, all’s well that end well ;-)

Thanks, David. I’ve had to tweak it because whoever put ‘How many silly balls’ together was either drunk or stupid. Fortunately, I’m a persistent International Poet and got to the bottom of the issue. Terry ;-)
