Good idea though that is great and on a scale of 834,0 really rates. Keep your faithful friend next to your bed and write down rhymes at midnight, that come to your head. I shall follow your leaky pen advice. Your poems brighten my day :)

Thanks, Karen. Like I said, I really love reading your comments! I do. I do. I do... As for gems, if you throw enough stuff at a target, something's gotta stick! Cheers, Gershon
