Yes! Damned Doughnuts! They are like Evil Souls with magnets and my hands are made of steel! Your comments are something I look forward to, almost as much as your prolifically penned poetry! Very nice!~

What a very profound way to write on doughnuts, I love it, Russel! Shucks, you have me looking at doughnuts differently now-- honestly though-- when I first saw your title, my first thought was of how doughnuts can be Evil souls because of how they can make you forget about good nutritious food when one is faced with a honey crusted (chocolate dipped?) doughnut, oh yummm, all moist and warm and just waiting to be bitten into. Oh Evil doughnut!

Good analogy for a dodoitsu poem, Russell.
