Thanks, Ilene. Came up with this a while back but wasn’t sure if I’d write it into something longer.

Don’t do a lot of Monoku(s?), perhaps I took inspiration from the local grand master ;-)

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha! Brilliant! Clever as ever! HILARIOUS! ... btw: My good friend from Tokyo tells me: "Stop crimbing and stearing radders!" He heard that on 'ladio and terevision.'

Thanks, Gershon. Your comment reminds me of an old joke about there being an awful lot of pregnant women in Japan… (now let me get this right…) because they’ve just had a general eLection (phew)… I’ll let you figure it out!
