Jack, Congratulations with your awesome poem in one of the best contest I've seen this year. It has been an honor in viewing all of Cyndi's ABC Couplet winners. I would have never pulled off this form or idea.... * xox-PD

hahaha, trying to make people think you have all these kids. GREAT job, Jack. Wish I could think of a really clever list to do. Once I get an idea, I will get started!! By the way, I am a wee bit o' the Irish. Scotch Iris on my mom's side, but mainly I am welsh and whatever my dad was, not sure (but partly Cherokee indian)

This is really clever, Jack! And I love the title you've chosen, as all these names from across the globe, all representing "Sons and Daughters"! Great job! Glad I got to see it before it got scrolled off the sometimes fast moving list. Truly enjoyed and wish you good luck even though this is a winner already. Always, Annalise
