Playing For Pay

wee
fairies
gayly flit
top mushrooms
searching for treasure
among the roots
of toadstools
algae,
too

Thanks, Jack. Nice to hear from you. I really miss your limericks. I used to read them every morning, and they gave me a chuckle to start off my day.

Gosh, such a delightful scene you've painted here, Milt. I am pretty sure Caren's going to absolutely love it. Varieties of Sugar and Spice, gw

I don't know, gw. I don't do especially well in Caren's contests. I thought she would love my personification, but it didn't even place! Anyway, Caren's a fantastic person, poet, and personality. Thanks for the read, and I'll hope for the best.
