Andrea This is the smallest poem ever but very clever. Thank you for the great comment on my Blue Eyes poem. No, you didn't have to use the songs, that's just how I wrote it. Hugs

Good one Andrea! And thank you for your kind comments! Still having big problems with my right arm/hand and left shoulder. I don't think that physiotherapy treatment will really help. Who knows? Have a great weekend!...Love, Gert:)

I'm way behind - my computer went kaput and had to buy a new one, the which is driving me nuts! I am through with the cataract operations and am somewhat spacey. Funny what your eyes will do to you. Have been making the most stupid mistakes. Alzheimers? Probably not. Anywho - I can't help but think of that horrible porridge (was it Squeers?) was feeding those kids in Nicholas Nickelby. Probably just the neck of the chicken got dipped. LOve, daver
