Charlie, what was that last word you were looking for in your poem where you used the elipse? I'm an old sailor, so forgive me but it must've been "mast" you were searching for. Right? Loved your humor in your poem. Very funny.

Not fun dealing with the DMV. Because of Covid they took all of the benches away no chairs anywhere and a long line to stand in, a little bit of torture before paying a large registration fee which piled on more pain. I love your alibi! Congratulations on your wonderful win. Happy Valentine’s Day my friend. Blessings xxoo

Oh my, Charlie, if this isn't a winner (or rank high) on the list, I don't know how. This is hilarious and as clever is most of your writes. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
