Quite the play on words, Jan. What a turn in mood from your adorable grook I read last time ... perhaps poets are notorious for mood swings ;) In any case, congrats on your placement in the contest! I wrote mine a day too late ... was surprised by how quickly it filled up!

My muse is like a temperamental teenager I never know what she will come out with next - I loved the challenge her and there is still humour here in the end of the poem:-) These contests fill so quickly I am pleased I placed so well:-) hugs Jan xx
