Speaks Volumes Date: 7/21/2023 3:49:00 AM When I was a child, nothing was worse to my dear Mum, than putting up an umbrella inside the house or turning the calendar to the next month too early, than hanging a horseshoe upside down for the luck to fall out !!! Your well presented poem just reminded me of all this dear Anne-Lise. Thank you. Login to Reply
