Gulp

There was a lady from Connet
Who got a bee in her bonnet.
She untied the string
To be rid of the thing
But her mouth opened upon it.

Ah ha . . . makes one wonder if the bee got properly oriented inside the poor woman's mouth or esophagus. No matter. As always, Lindsay, I value and appreciate your comments.

Hmmm . . . what happened to my earlier response, I wonder. In any event, comments from you, Jan, are always music to my ears. Blessings on you and your loved ones (accompanied by hugs). Paul
