Good thing you hadn't whipped past a 'no running' sign. You always come up with something brilliant, Andrea! I'm more of a slow poke turtle clocked by a 'change my mind' meter. Keep well and keep up with all your amazing writes. Mikki

Andrea, this is (IMHO) a great example of the Senryu. A humorous poke at ourselves.

God, Tom, you may have coined the next treat "oxymoronic" statement.....talk to text.....if they wanted to talk......they wouldn't text.
