Hope you are on a retainer so we do't lose you as an entertainer. Effort appreciated as it is not so easy for most of us to produce this kind of poetry in current climate. Our grandson turned 2 on 2nd. We are making most of summer here. Homemade pies and jam made by yours truly, barbecues at my daughters newly acquired house in our street. Pigging out on tomatoes and other goodies from garden. Take care David in NZ

I really, really, really want there to be a Lord Rupert Davy... he should be an M.P. He could be minister for taking STOCK of the Gravy Train. Love this, Jan, it just kinda works. Terry
