Thanks Robyn you will be releived its not for the contest - pretty pointless as the sponsor has me blocked for writing a poem about a floating pooh - but I can still have fun writing and I was inspired by James's poem hee hee:-) hugs Jan xx
Date: 12/27/2015 12:03:00 PM
Hahaha! Didn't think you had it in you, Jan, but according to this poem you did! Keep out of Manhattan if you don't want to end up a paraplegic. Good laugh from this one. / M
