You read my poem, Mr Good robs those who worked hard to be all they can be. The sad thing is, id Mr Good or Bad? I don't know, I am sure Google will never catch him. LOL Thank you, Paul, I remember you are from Malta. :)

Hi Linda:) Finger-tapping can become a tiresome business....you can always hire a woodpecker to give you a hand:) ~ I heard about a Robin Hood who robs those rich in poetic wealth, to give to his poor self! ~ Hugs // paul
