Rush to my house I have kumquats, you said They're ripe, moist and sweet, I'm right here in bed An eager beaver, I raced But my high hopes were misplaced Your spouse was eating your kumquat instead

Kumquats so delicious in salads and so many ways to prepare them. Congratulations on your win! Enjoyed this very much!

I prepare my kumquats with great trepidation and amorous expectation. Thank you, Anaya, Robert

Thank you, Linda, apparently a bit too risqué for some. But that's show biz! Robert

May I innocently suggest that she share her kumquats? Would that not be a fair resolution to the problem as hand, or um at mouth ?

You surely may. Would that make it a kumquat-atois? How novel.

Oooh! This is daring, Robert. Can't believe I'm the only one to comment so far. Tania's either gonna love or it -- or blush. I say she does both! Congrats, gw
