The I's Have It

I crossed my I’s, I dotted my t’s As I waited in line for hell to freeze For what I had written I’d surely be smitten By the scourge of the black hooded maniacal Nun Determined to purge my life of all fun Somehow I knew it – that I shouldn’t do it But that voice in my head said “go ahead, screw it” I dotted my t’s and crossed my I’s And it was the cause of my early demise.

Clever, John. This is surely in line with what I've heard about those "maniacal" nuns! Funny!

Well done, John. After 18 and being married, I learned to let it rip! Yet, Always, always, there are people who seem to fall from the skies who lay their rules on us. You must go their way or the highway? No thanks..they are everywhere, Lawless! Do as you please. Panagiota xx
