I wonder if Voltaire drank coffee with cream. Personally, I can only drink tea. Lively poem.

Voltaire was adamant of human liberties and of that being partial with equalities, though it's not so much coffee vs tea, as the subject was if Voltaire was present he would have assured his friend to have been sparingly with the cream whose is now gone without as he did seem to raise that point from the get-go. Thanks, Victor. Aloha, William

Thanks, Lasaad, trends terse verse poetry movement at ps, all poetry, and other sites, I'm guessing--keeping with the flow my friend. Aloha, William.

As I posted to Andrea, there's a lean to haiku/footle of recent ps and all poetry/shorts-in, Sara. Aloha, William

It seems there's a lean towards brevity so I indulged and voila--glad to oblige, Andrea. Aloha my friend, William.
