Thanks, Jan. I’m not sure if you read the original ‘Dumbstruck Is Me’… it would clarify the context of this particular couplet. Terry

Thanks William. I often think the comments are funnier than the poem. Terry

Terry, I thought this was incredibly amusing, and I couldn't help but wonder what that was the case. Congratulations, friend! Now, I'll need to go back and read what I'm presuming is a more explanatory poem, eh?

Thanks Milt and thanks for my placement in your contest. You did enjoy the full text at the time, because I had to Google ‘LMAO’. Terry
