OMG, you got first place, Jack. So clever you are with this short but brilliant way to do her contest. I worked three hours on mine and got nada. hahaha. I never saw such a short winner list from Susan before. I think she must have felt we all let her down or something. BIG congrats that she liked your poem. Goodnight now, I think I am finally getting off. Luv, Andrea
