Wasn’t sure anyone would get this. Was meant to be the long sentence as the title and only the ‘hmmm’ as the poem itself. Soup wouldn’t accept it... I guess the title was too long. So glad you saw something in it. Thanks. Terry

Hey Ann, I’m chuffed you saw something in this ‘item’. In my head it made a certain comic sense, but I wasn’t sure anyone else might have the same screw loose ;-). No offence! Thanks for dropping in. Terry
