The serpent coils 'fore he strikes piercing hiss sordid sway ~ fearsome bite Paranoiacs flash warnings too Those who ignore ~ will later rue

Nice call, Gershon, but, I rather stay paranoiac, be safe than sorry . . . : /

Great imagery in this one, Gershon. We all need to pay attention, usually there's a warning in life-or-death situations. Bill

That's right. We ignore so many warnings. 'Blindness' is not merely loss of vision! Thanks, Bill. Cheers, gw
