Ha, Ha! It's windy here in Chicago, alright---except when the humidity settles in. Then not a leaf stirs... I used to be a summer person too, like you. But I'm afraid I've aged some, and now it's rough on the joints. Oh, well... :) gw

O, may the winds of change sweep through with cooling relief soon, Gershon. Your piteous plea is so poetically expressed, my inspiring friend. Best wishes for a win and warmest wishes for you always.. ~Susan

Careful, there, Anne-Lise. You just might get what you've asked for (and definitely don't want). :) gw

Well written Gershon, you should enter it. Could do with some heat here though, hasn't stopped raining all day. Tom.

You know, I entered a different poem, 'Hearts,' which I thought was better... I see (from the comments piling up for this one) that I probably selected the wrong ninette. Oh, well. Probably another N/A is on its way! Thanks for the support, Tom. :) gw

Ha, Ha: I can send you a few million (crickets) if you like, my dear. LOL. Or perhaps you'd like a few hundred cricket players?! LOL. Thanks for the comment, Jan. :) gw
