Hello Dear Anne-Lise, What a wondrous Monoku I must say. "Ten" very powerfully combined words for sure. (I might add, one could think you're caricature picture displayed above could be akin to "Mr. Trump" and his "ATM Bank Machine" mentality view of the White House and Washington, DC in general.) God Help Us!! HA!! HA!! A FAVE FOR SURE!! Best Weekend Wishes from Ingrid and me!! Gary
