First, I couldn’t get over how clever your title was - then again, Mo, you have quite a talent for that.. next, your brilliant poem just blew my mind along with that great grand finale of a last line! - But then again, you have quite a talent for mind-blowing too.. Loved it and a fav! Congratulations on your wonderful win, my lovely. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Thank you so much Susan! This was just lying in wait for a contest prompt, years mulling this one over. I think I saw you on the list too, (congratulations!) I'm struggling to keep up with all the reading I want to do. Hugs and love, Lovely, xomo! :))),

I was going to do what Jeff did, but he stole my idea - somehow ahead of time. I know Nina is going to adore this one Maureen!

Very sorry once again Carin. My spell check messed up my reply to you. I've never written such a poem as Maureen McGreavy has ever written... Even in an alternate universe. She is a poet for all times. I very much respeckt her; so I must, once again, apologize for not truly understanding your comment.

That happens to me all the time... We have all written this poem before ;o) xomo!

Apologies Far an but I read Maureen's poem in another directing universe before she wrote it.

Maureen, I just read the comments you received for this poem. Your response to Version intrigued me. We're you referring to the 1st MIB movie where an entire universe is a viable on a cat's neck; or another MIB movie where they open a locker in, I believe, a train terminal and discover an entire universe existing??? (By the way, the aliens working in the post office is completely true); after all I work there.
