Quite humorous Paul - and a clever way to get rid of the 'pestiferous hairy little beast' Shakespeare made a Puck out of him- Loved it...Maria

Paul, this is so cute and fun! Flows very smoothly, too. I noticed that it says you entered it in my contest but it didn't show up. I don't know what happened. It's very good, though and would have placed high. Blessings,Kim

While not familiar with the Pleiades form, I did get a good laugh when I read about "Puck" from Midsummer Night's Dream. A delightful poem, Paul. The mischievous character comes to life. Best wishes in the contest!
