I think this is only the 2nd Strandized placed poem that has absolutely entertained me; the art, the wit - you are very clever w/ this. I look at the keyboard and look and look, nothing comes to me except the want for more 'creating-keys!' BS actually placed me, never noticed/thought about his initials before - parents shouldn't do that! CayCay
