Gershon, congratulations on your winning placement with your cute and clever limerick, I had to look up hirsute, well done!

Thank you Tania... I think 'hirsute' became quite popular during the era of the Beatles and all those long-hair groups of the late '60's and '70's. Now it applies just as much to major league baseball pitchers! lol. Thanks, again. :) gw
