Probably not Carolyn, but what they will do is extend one's working life, from 65 to 70 to get more blood and sweat out of everyone. brilliant Limerick and spot on with the theme. Harry

Hi Carolyn. Thanks for the visit. Yes I am really an old romantic. been married to Diane for 37 years and we still walk down the road holding hands. it stops her hitting me. Only Joking. We worked together for years, upholstery,have played music together for years and now that we are retired we spend all our time together. I love this. You are in the U.S.A. I think but this is so appropriate Ireland also. Well versed on a great idea. I remain, romantic, with a twist. eamon
