selfless is on my top word list. Once, I told a friend that he was selfless...he got offended---So I let it ride!:) figured if he thought it meant selfish, he did not deserve an explanation! Hell awaits pranksters like me. Nicer Bauk than most:)

Kash, this is pretty. I forgot the exact way to do these. I think the last syllable of line one rhymes with first syllable line two? (or maybe third) But I can't remember about line 3. What did you rhyme in line 3?
