Craig, halfway down, halfway up, keep the glass half-full. I couldn't resist with my first comment. So, looking at the comments below, I over-thunked this gruk?

So you got stuck halfway down to hell, eh? Hyuk-hyuk! Sly enough to beat the devil at his own game. I suppose getting stuck halfway there, is better than actually being in hell. If the double-meaning of this gruk is about something else, then I might be too simple to grasp its vastness and deeper meaning. Hey, you made me think a bit, which is usually a good thing.

I THOUGHT--HALFWAY UP BUT---HUGS CDA

:) Hmmmmm....what did you do? Deeper meaning here? A Grook? Never heard of this form of poetry. Thanks for sharing...

Eileen Ghali Date: 3/1/2013 8:02:00 AM

Yes, Craig...I got that this is the Grook format! I just had never heard of it before! Read up a bit more on it! Interesting. You've done it well!
