Your "R"s send him back to jail where he belongs. You described him well (real smart), Edward.

Hi Edward, You made good use of the letter R. It has a good rhythm and flow; nothing seems forced. If you do the crime you will do the time. Great job. Best wishes in the contest. Have a wonderful evening:-) Alexis
