No Vacancies

the pleasure of sin
  the pain of penance

all across the earth's surface
  permanent tenants

Glad it 'sank in,' Connie. So much of what I say and write merely 'sinks!' (Then again, I could have added a 't' to that word as well). At any rate, thank you for your encouraging words, and hope all is well with you! :) gw
