Jeff, you kindly commented on my limerick and realising that I had not encountered your poetry before I have dipped in and thoroughly enjoyed what I have read. This double dactyl flows along so rhythmically and brought a smile to my lips!

You've got a way with these double-dactyls (too), Jeff. Excellent! (Sir Edmund was my favorite adventurer when I was a kid). :) gw
