I had to look up "assiduously" and I thank you for this my friend; I love learning new words. I had heard it, just never felt the urge to look it up before your poem. Made sense before, still makes sense. Well done.

That's the minimum standard, anything less and they'll be scrubbing the decks. Tom

I just had a flashback! My father was Royal Canadian Navy, I remember him teaching me to polish shoes. Wow! :))) xomo

I can see my reflection when I look at his shoes... Perfectly captured, Kim! Lovely crystalline! Sweetness and Light, Gershon
