Very well done on this one, Dunkirk, I thought was impossible to rhyme with so I choose something else instead. REgards, Déirdre

A knife, a dirk, whatever works to slay this lazy man from Dunkirk! Very funny, Joyce, and I think you have the perfect meter that Deb's looking for. Best wishes in the contest. Love, Carolyn
